Job Description

Mechanical Fitter

Southampton

£33,000 Basic + Shift Enhancements (OTE circa £40,000)

Continental Shifts | Long Weekends Every Week

Tired of working every Monday? What if your weekend lasted until Tuesday?

If you're an experienced fitter looking for better work-life balance, specialist engineering training and the opportunity to increase your earnings whilst developing your career, this could be exactly what you've been waiting for.

You'll join a stable engineering operation based in Southampton Docks, where your skills are valued, your development is encouraged, and your time away from work is protected.

What's in it for you?

Long weekends every week
You'll work a shift pattern that gives you either a three-day or four-day weekend every week, meaning no Monday morning commute and more time for family, hobbies and life outside work.

Earn up to £40,000
Starting salary of £33,000 with regular shift enhancements that can take your earnings to around £40,000.

Learn specialist engineering skills
You'll gain experience maintaining and repairing specialist rail vehicles, opening the door to a unique sector with long-term career opportunities.

Genuine career progression
Whether you want to develop your mechanical expertise further or progress into advanced fault-finding, diagnostics or electrical engineering, you'll have access to ongoing training and development.

Stable permanent employment
Join a supportive engineering team within a well-established operation offering long-term security and future opportunities.

The Role

As a Mechanical Fitter, you'll play a key role in maintaining and repairing specialist rail vehicles.

Your day-to-day work will include:

Mechanical maintenance and inspections
Fault finding and repairs
Component replacement
Brake testing
Structural and heavy mechanical repairs
If you've worked in vehicle maintenance, heavy plant, agricultural machinery, rolling stock or similar mechanical environments, your experience will transfer well into this position.

Shift Pattern

Continental shifts (days and nights):

4 day shifts (Tuesday to Friday)
Followed by a 3-day weekend
3 night shifts (Tuesday to Thursday)
Followed by a 4-day weekend
In other words, you'll never work a Monday.

What You'll Need

Previous hands-on mechanical fitting experience
Engineering, fabrication, welding or production qualifications (Level 2 or 3 desirable but not essential)
Ability to pass a Drugs & Alcohol screening and medical assessment
