If you’re experienced in plant maintenance, enjoy variety in your work, and thrive in a role where no two days are the same, this could be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
Based from a “home” depot, you’ll work across a defined region, supporting multiple GAP depots and customer sites as required. You’ll provide additional fitting resource where demand is highest, helping to reduce downtime, clear backlogs, and keep equipment hire ready across the region.

- Servicing, maintaining, and repairing a wide range of plant and tools across the GAP fleet, including compressors, mini excavators, dumpers, trailers, and small tools
- Diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs at depots and customer sites across the region
- Providing additional technical support at depots where backlogs, capacity, or skills gaps exist
- Completing planned servicing, repairs, and refurbishments to support equipment availability and minimise downtime
- Checking, testing, and tagging equipment, accurately completing service records, test certificates, and associated paperwork
- Working safely on customer sites and across depots, following all GAP and customer Health & Safety requirements
- Maintaining a clean, organised, and professional workspace and vehicle (where provided)
- Travelling regularly within the region, including overnight stays where required, to support operational needs
What You’ll Bring
We’re looking for someone with strong technical expertise and a proactive approach, including:
- Proven experience as a plant mechanic/fitter, with a relevant qualification or time-served background in an industry with transferable skills is welcomed
- Strong diagnostic, mechanical, and problem solving skills
- Ability to work independently across different depots and customer sites
- A flexible approach to travel and changing regional priorities
- A valid driving licence
Benefits
- Extra investment in our equipment to provide the best tools in the industry
- Independent, long‑term decision making to support your success
- Career growth, training, and development from day one
- Generous holidays and Life Assurance and Health & Wellness Support
We’re proud to be an Equal Opportunities employer and embrace the unique contributions each individual brings.
