Do you know your way around a spanner? Can you tell a centrifugal pump from a cup of tea at 50 yards? Are you the kind of person who sees a mechanical problem and runs towards it (probably with a wrench and allen keys in hand)?
If so, we’ve got just the job for you...
We’re on the hunt for a Lead Site Fitter to join a cracking little two-person team covering water treatment and mechanical maintenance sites across the Severn Trent region. This is a brilliant opportunity to step up into a number one role, leading jobs from the front – and doing it all from the comfort of a fully kitted-out van (sadly no fluffy dice… yet).
What’s the job then?You’ll be:
Travelling between sites with your trusty co-fitter, getting hands-on with pumps, pipework, rotating machinery and other water-industry marvels
Swapping out worn kit for shiny new (or fully refurbished) stuff
Sometimes removing equipment to be overhauled at the workshop
Dodging puddles, climbing into confined spaces, and occasionally scaling ladders – all while staying well within the lines of health & safety
Acting as the face of the business on site – so you’ll need to be professional, practical and (ideally) not allergic to people
What you’ll need:
Mechanical know-how and decent hands-on fitting experience
A background in site-based work (bonus points if it’s water-related)
The confidence to lead from the front – while still being a good team player
A full UK driving licence – no licence, no van, no dice
Some computer literacy – nothing fancy, but you’ll need to record your work
Confined space/working at height tickets are great, but if not, training’s on us
What’s in it for you?
A competitive salary based on your experience
39-hour week with overtime if you fancy the extra £££
A pension scheme – for future you
Company van – shared with your team mate
Supportive training – if you’re keen to learn, we’re keen to teach
Sound like your kind of job? Don’t sit on it too long – get in touch and we’ll talk you through the details.
We’re recruiting on behalf of a well-established engineering company that’s big on quality, safety, and doing the job right first time. And no, they won’t make you wear a suit
