If you're an experienced Plant Fitter looking for predictable hours, a solid hourly rate and a mixed workload, this South Coast role offers a proper step up. You'll split your time between the workshop and construction sites across Southampton and the wider South Coast, working on a varied fleet of plant, machinery and small tools. No repetitive days - you'll handle everything from routine servicing to full mechanical repairs, plus on-site breakdowns when equipment needs getting back online quickly.
The Role
- Servicing and maintaining plant
- Diagnosing mechanical and hydraulic faults
- Major mechanical repairs
- Repairing small tools and site equipment
- Breakdown call-outs to construction sites
- Preventative maintenance
- Preparing machinery to minimise downtime
- Working independently and within the wider engineering team

- Plant Fitters
- Heavy Plant Fitters
- Mobile Plant Engineers
- Plant Engineers

You'll ideally have:

- NVQ Level 3 in Plant Maintenance (or equivalent)
- Strong mechanical and hydraulic fault-finding skills

- Confidence working independently on site
- Full UK driving licence
The Package
- £20+ per hour (experience dependent)
- 7am-4pm, Monday to Friday
- Company van provided
- 28 days annual leave (5 retained for Christmas)
- Overtime available if wanted
- Workshop + mobile role across Southampton / South Coast
Why This Role Stands Out
If you're tired of long shifts, constant overtime or being stuck in a workshop all day, this role gives you balance - with the option to pick up extra hours when you want them. You'll get:
- A company van
- Predictable hours
- Strong hourly pay
- A varied workload across workshop repairs and site breakdowns
