An experienced Plant Fitter role with stability, variety, and respect
If you’re an experienced Plant Mechanic / Plant Fitter looking for a steady, well-run workshop — where your skills are valued and your input matters — this could be the role you’ve been looking for.
CES Hire is a family-owned construction equipment hire and supply business with over 40 years’ experience. We specialise in plastering, rendering, screeding, and associated machinery, and we’re continuing to grow.
This is a hands-on, senior role, ideal for someone who enjoys diagnosing faults, fixing equipment properly, and taking pride in keeping machines safe, reliable, and customer-ready.
What you’ll be doing
* Servicing, maintaining, and repairing our hire fleet of specialist construction machinery
* Diagnosing mechanical and electrical faults and carrying out effective repairs
* Repairing customer-owned equipment to a high standard
* Occasionally assisting customers who visit the workshop for repairs or technical advice
* Carrying out occasional site work or deliveries when required
* Completing job records, safety checks, and certification paperwork
* Keeping the workshop clean, organised, and safe
You’ll work closely with the Workshop Manager as part of a small, experienced team, with the freedom to apply your knowledge rather than follow rigid corporate processes.
The experience we’re looking for
This role is suited to an experienced fitter, not a trainee or junior.
You’ll ideally have:
* Proven experience repairing and servicing plant, construction equipment, or industrial machinery
* Strong fault-finding and diagnostic skills
* A practical, solutions-focused approach
* Good organisation and timekeeping
* Confident verbal communication skills
* A team-focused mindset and a customer-first attitude
Experience in the construction or hire sector is highly desirable.
What’s in it for you?
* Salary up to £40,000 dependent on experience
* Performance-based bonus
* 28 days holiday (including bank holidays)
* Workplace pension scheme
* Monday–Friday working hours (no shift work)
* Training and development (internal and external)
* Free on-site parking
* Well-equipped workshop
* Flexibility and understanding around life outside work
* The chance to be a key, trusted member of a growing business
You’ll enjoy the reward, autonomy, and accountability that comes with working for a small business that values quality work and long-term relationships.
