Job Description

Mechanical Fitter

Wakefield | £17.30 per hour | Permanent | Days

A well-established automation engineering business in Wakefield is looking for a skilled Mechanical Fitter to join its team on a permanent basis.

This is hands-on, varied work — building and assembling bespoke, low-volume machinery in a close-knit workshop, with occasional trips out to customer sites for installation and commissioning. It's the kind of role where you can see the results of your work and take real pride in what you've built. If you enjoy working from drawings, thrive on complex mechanical builds and want a stable long-term position with a respected engineering business, this is worth a look.

The Role

• Building and assembling special purpose machinery from engineering drawings

• Installing equipment at customer premises when required

• Using hand tools, lifting equipment and workshop machinery

• Carrying out risk assessments and working to HSE safe working practices

• Liaising with customer technical teams during installation phases

• Contributing ideas to improve build methods and assembly processes

What We're Looking For

• HNC in Mechanical Engineering or solid equivalent hands-on experience

• Proven background in mechanical assembly or machinery build

• Confident reading and working from detailed engineering drawings

• Sound understanding of machine safety and safe systems of work

• Comfortable in customer-facing environments when out on site

• Willing to travel occasionally for installation work

• Experience with basic electrical or pneumatic systems is a bonus — not essential

What's on Offer

• £17.30 per hour

• Permanent position from day one

• Day shifts: Mon–Thu 08:00–16:30 / Fri 08:00–15:15

• Bonus scheme

• Company pension

• Ongoing training and development

• Stable, long-term opportunity with a well-regarded engineering business

A solid permanent role for a Mechanical Fitter who wants interesting, varied work and the satisfaction of building complex machinery from the ground up — with a team that genuinely cares about doing things properly.
