About the Role:
We are looking for a reliable and proactive Maintenance Fitter to join our Day Maintenance Team. The ideal candidate will be hands‑on, mechanically skilled, and committed to delivering high levels of plant reliability through planned preventative maintenance and continuous improvement. Experience in heavy industry is an advantage, but not essential for a strong mechanical fitter with good PPM discipline and problem‑solving ability.
About Your Role
• Carry out planned preventive maintenance (PPM) on plant equipment including mixers, conveyors, pumps, bearings, and other mechanical systems.
• Complete inspections, lubrication, adjustments, and minor repairs to maintain equipment reliability.
• Replace worn or high‑risk components before failure to reduce unplanned downtime.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to improve plant reliability, reduce downtime, and optimise maintenance processes.
• Maintain accurate CMMS entries for all PPM, repairs, and CI activities.
• Identify recurring mechanical issues and provide recommendations to the CI and engineering teams.
• Assist with installation, modification, and testing of new equipment or improvement projects.
• Provide holiday and sickness cover for the Shift Maintenance Team as required.
• Work collaboratively with engineering, production, CI, and maintenance colleagues to deliver effective plant performance.
• Follow LOTO, PPE, and site safety procedures at all times.
We're Looking For
• Strong mechanical maintenance skills (mixers, conveyors, pumps, bearings, gearboxes, drives, etc.).
• Time‑served apprenticeship or equivalent mechanical engineering background.
• Ability to perform accurate preventive maintenance tasks and record work effectively.
• Good hands‑on fault‑finding and mechanical repair skills.
• CMMS experience for logging PPM and maintenance activities.
• Strong understanding of safety processes (LOTO, PPE, H&S practices).
• Effective teamwork, communication, and problem‑solving skills.
• Experience in concrete, aggregates, cement, or heavy industry desirable.
• Multi‑skilled capability advantageous.
• Knowledge of predictive maintenance methods desirable.
• Experience in CI, lean manufacturing, or reliability improvement beneficial.
