Mechanical Fitter

Brighton | Permanent | Competitive Salary + Benefits

Are you a Mechanical Fitter who enjoys working on heavy plant rather than standing at the same production machine every day?

We are recruiting for an experienced Mechanical Fitter to join a busy aggregates operation in the Brighton area.

This is a hands‑on engineering role maintaining and repairing the mechanical equipment that keeps a heavy industrial site running.

The Role

Working as part of the engineering and maintenance team, you will be responsible for:

  • Responding to mechanical breakdowns
  • Carrying out planned preventative maintenance
  • Diagnosing mechanical faults and identifying long‑term solutions
  • Maintaining conveyors, screens, crushers and processing equipment
  • Working on pumps, gearboxes, bearings, motors and drive systems
  • Completing welding, fabrication and mechanical repairs
  • Supporting plant shutdowns and major maintenance activities
  • Inspecting equipment and identifying potential failures
  • Recording completed maintenance activities
  • Working safely within a heavy industrial environment

What We Are Looking For

We want to speak with Mechanical Fitters, Maintenance Engineers and Plant Fitters with experience in environments such as:

  • Quarrying and aggregates
  • Asphalt
  • Cement
  • Concrete
  • Recycling
  • Waste
  • Heavy manufacturing
  • Ports
  • Bulk materials handling

You will need strong mechanical fault‑finding skills and be comfortable working around large‑scale plant and processing equipment.

Why Apply?

You will be joining an established heavy industrial operation where engineering genuinely matters.

This is a role for someone who wants proper mechanical maintenance, breakdown and plant work.

Apply today for a confidential discussion with Andrews Recruitment Group, specialists in engineering recruitment across the UK aggregates sector.
