Yard Fitter / Mechanical Technician

Middlesbrough £35,000 – £40,000 + Overtime Available

Tired of doing the same thing every day?

If you’re stuck in a repetitive role where you’re just another number, this is your chance to get properly hands-on in a business where your work actually matters.

We’re working with a well-established, family-run plant hire company specialising in dust suppression systems, towable water bowsers, and site equipment – and they’re looking for a Yard Fitter to join their team.

What you’ll be doing

  • Servicing, maintaining, and repairing a range of light plant and specialist equipment
  • Working on dust suppression units, water bowsers, pumps, hoses, and small engines
  • Diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs efficiently
  • Preparing equipment ready for hire
  • Attending occasional breakdowns on customer sites

This is a varied, hands-on role where no two days look the same.

What they’re looking for

You don’t need to come from heavy plant.

If you’re mechanically minded and know your way around engines, you’ll be considered.

Backgrounds that fit well:

  • Plant hire / tool hire
  • Garden machinery / small engines
  • Agricultural or mechanical engineering
  • Automotive technicians (hands-on and adaptable)
  • Or someone practical with strong mechanical ability

They’re open to both experienced fitters and those who are eager to learn and develop.

What you’ll get

  • £35,000 – £40,000 depending on experience
  • Overtime available if you want it
  • A stable, long-term role in a growing business
  • A proper team environment where you’re valued
  • Variety in your work — not stuck doing the same job all day

Why this role?

This isn’t a corporate environment with layers of management.

It’s a small, tight-knit team where:

  • Everyone knows each other
  • Your work is recognised
  • You’re trusted to get on with the job

If you like being hands-on and want a role where you can actually make an impact, this is it.
