About the role
The Role: Ready to get hands-on with industry-leading equipment and make a real impact? We're looking for a skilled and motivated Plant Mechanic to join our high-performing Plant & Tool division. If you're passionate about machinery, thrive on solving problems, and want to be part of a business that's growing fast—this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
As a Plant Mechanic, you'll play a key role in keeping our fleet of diggers, dumpers, and hand tools hire-ready.

- Servicing and maintaining a wide range of plant and tool equipment within the GAP fleet
- Diagnosing faults and completing repairs efficiently to minimise downtime
- Accurately updating service records and ensuring compliance with safety standards

- Supporting the depot team to ensure equipment availability and customer satisfaction

- Proven experience working in a mechanical role - candidates outside the plant hire industry are welcomed as full training will be provided!
- Experience with diesel engines would be highly beneficial
- A keen eye for detail and the ability to stay calm under pressure
- A customer-focused mindset and a collaborative team spirit
- A full, valid driving licence is preferred but not essential
