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.

• 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.

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

We welcome applications from candidates with experience in plant machinery, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, powered access equipment, forklifts, commercial vehicles, generators, pumps or similar mechanical equipment.

• 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.
