Mechanical Plant Fitter | £22 per hour (depending on experience)
Overview:
Our client is responsible for the servicing, installation, and upgrading of a variety of plant equipment across the south coast. Most of the work sits within a triangle from Dorset in the west, London, and along towards southern Kent in the east.
The projects range in size and scope from a few days onsite to several months. The list of current contracts is vast, including several with budgets into the millions, with dozens of others expected to come online within the next few months. The business we're working in partnership with has recruited several new employees in recent months and boasts an exceptional retention rate.
This Mechanical Plant Fitter role offers variety daily that will test your skills hourly.

Owing to the variety of different sites that you'll be servicing, you'll be expected to travel and stay away if the project is further afield.
