Job Description
This is a hands-on position where you'll be at the sharp end of mechanical fitting-whether that's welding and fabrication on-site, fault-finding on large-scale machinery, or installing and aligning bespoke plant modules.

* Work flexibly across multiple sites, supporting installation teams and site operations.
* Ensure all duties are completed in line with health & safety policies and environmental standards.
What We're Looking For
* Proven experience in mechanical fitting/maintenance of heavy earthmoving machinery, crushers, screening plants, and batching systems.
* Familiarity with plant from manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Volvo, Komatsu, and similar is advantageous.
* Strong ability to read and interpret technical drawings.

* Problem-solving mindset with the ability to deliver timely, cost-effective solutions.
* Flexibility to adapt to site demands and work occasional extended hours.
* Team player with strong communication skills and a safety-first approach.
