The company places strong emphasis on teamwork, trust, and health and safety, and expects a professional approach at all times from the appointed Mechanical Fitter.

This Mechanical Fitter role reports to the Machine Shop Supervisor and involves working on the service, repair, and inspection of large precision engineered equipment. Duties include stripping, inspecting, repairing, and rebuilding equipment, carrying out site-based inspections, producing reports, interpreting engineering drawings, and using precision measuring equipment.

A solid grounding in engineering practice is essential. A willingness to travel and work away from home is essential, along with a full UK driving licence.
