Mechanical Fitter

The Opportunity

We’re working with an established engineering business that is expanding its site team and looking to appoint an experienced Mechanical Fitter on a permanent basis.

You’ll join an experienced team delivering engineering projects for clients across the UK.

This is a hands-on role involving the installation, maintenance, testing and commissioning of mechanical and ventilation systems.

Please note: The role involves flexibility regarding working location, with regular UK-wide site work required.

The Role

As a Mechanical Fitter, you'll be involved in the installation, maintenance and commissioning of mechanical systems, working as part of a wider project team.

Your responsibilities will include:

* Dismantling and reassembling mechanical assemblies, primarily PVC/GRP ductwork and fans.

* Carrying out pre-commissioning testing and commissioning of installed ventilation systems.

* Inspecting existing systems, identifying faults and producing short technical reports.

* Carrying out preventative maintenance on plant and equipment.

* Working alongside the project team to help plan and schedule upcoming works.

* Supporting other engineering disciplines when required.

* Using hand tools, machinery and specialist equipment safely and correctly.

* Ensuring tools and equipment are maintained to a safe and high standard.

* Working in line with company quality, environmental and health & safety procedures.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone with a practical mechanical background who is comfortable working on-site and can take ownership of their work.

You'll ideally have:

* A CSCS Card.

* Demonstrable experience in ductwork installation.

* Experience working with mechanical assemblies, ventilation systems or similar equipment.

* The ability to read and interpret schematics and maintenance drawings.

* Strong fault-finding and problem-solving skills.

* The ability to plan and organise work, particularly when removing and reinstalling components within existing systems.

* High personal standards around quality, health & safety and environmental compliance.

* A full UK driving licence.

* Water industry experience would be beneficial but is not essential.

The Business

Our client is an established engineering business specialising in industrial and environmental engineering solutions, supporting clients across a range of sectors.

With continued growth and an expanding project portfolio, this is an opportunity to join an established site team and work on varied projects across the UK.
