Mechanical Fitter

£51,736 Basic | £53,222+ OTE | Days Only | Overtime Available

If you're a Mechanical Fitter looking for a well-paid days role with a long-established manufacturer, this is one worth looking at.

This business has been around for decades and is a genuine market leader in its sector. It has a strong engineering team, invests heavily in its site and equipment, and offers the sort of stability that's becoming harder to find in manufacturing.

You'll be joining a busy maintenance team where no two days are the same, with a mix of breakdowns, planned maintenance and improvement work across a large industrial site.

As a Mechanical Maintenance Fitter, you'll be responsible for keeping production equipment running safely and efficiently while helping reduce downtime across site.

Day-to-day you'll be involved with:

• Responding to mechanical breakdowns and fault finding.
• Carrying out planned preventative maintenance and TPM checks.
• Repairing and overhauling machinery and mechanical components.
• Working on hydraulics, pneumatics and rotating equipment.
• Supporting machinery installations and engineering improvement projects.
• Working closely with production to keep the plant running.
• Sharing knowledge with apprentices and junior engineers where needed.

• A recognised Mechanical Engineering qualification (Apprenticeship, NVQ Level 3 or City & Guilds Level
  3).
• Experience in a mechanical maintenance or mechanical fitting position.
• Good fault-finding and problem-solving skills.
• Experience working with hydraulics and pneumatics would be ideal.
• Ability to read engineering drawings.

• £53,222 OTE through weekly productivity and maintenance bonuses.
• Life assurance and income protection.
• Christmas bonus that increases with service.
• Tool allowance every six months.
• Full workwear, PPE and safety boots provided, plus a laundry service.

This is a permanent days-only position working an average of 40.25 hours per week on a 4 on / 4 off pattern across an 8-week cycle. It gives you regular long weekends and a great work-life balance without rotating onto nights.

Roles like this don't come up very often. It's a chance to join a secure, well-established manufacturer that looks after its engineers, pays well and offers genuine long-term career stability.

If you're looking for a days role with excellent earning potential and a company where engineering is valued, it's well worth a conversation.
