We’re working with a growing manufacturing business to find an experienced Maintenance Fitter who can bring strong hands-on maintenance expertise across mechanical, electrical and plant systems. This role would suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced production environment and enjoys keeping machinery running smoothly through proactive and reactive maintenance.
The Role
You’ll take ownership of maintaining a wide range of plant and production machinery, carrying out preventive checks, fault-finding, repairs, and emergency maintenance.

* Maintaining and repairing mechanical systems, including gearboxes, conveyors, bearings, belts, and drive units
* Troubleshooting pneumatics and hydraulics (compressors, valves, cylinders, schematics)
* Supporting welding/fabrication equipment and carrying out small repairs where needed
* Working on electrical systems: 3-phase, control panels, isolators, motors, VFDs, sensors
* Conducting routine maintenance checks and ensuring machinery operates safely and efficiently
* Assisting with installations, commissioning, and facilities maintenance tasks
What We’re Looking For
* Strong plant maintenance experience within a manufacturing environment
* Solid mechanical skillset; electrical experience essential
* Ability to fault-find across mechanical, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic systems
* Level 3 NVQ (or equivalent) in Electrical Installation or Electromechanical Maintenance
* 18th Edition knowledge (C&G 2382-22) preferred
* Experience with PLC-controlled equipment is a bonus
* Someone proactive, reliable, and confident working both independently and within a team
