About the role
The Role
Ready to get hands-on with industry-leading equipment and make a real impact?
We're looking for a skilled and motivated Plant Mechanic to join our high-performing Plant & Tool division. If you're passionate about machinery, thrive on solving problems, and want to be part of a business that's growing fast—this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
As a Plant Mechanic, you'll play a key role in keeping our fleet of diggers, dumpers, and hand tools hire-ready. You'll carry out servicing, maintenance, and repairs—both in the depot and occasionally on customer sites—ensuring our equipment is safe, reliable, and ready to go when our customers need it.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role offering real career progression in a company that invests in its people.
About You
What You'll Be Doing
• Servicing and maintaining a wide range of plant and tool equipment within the GAP fleet
• Diagnosing faults and completing repairs efficiently to minimise downtime
• Accurately updating service records and ensuring compliance with safety standards
• Occasionally attending customer sites to carry out repairs and maintenance
• Supporting the depot team to ensure equipment availability and customer satisfaction
What You'll Bring
We're looking for someone with strong technical expertise and a proactive approach, including:
• Proven experience as a plant mechanic/fitter, with a relevant qualification or time-served background in an industry with transferable skills is welcomed
• Solid, up-to-date knowledge of heavy plant machinery maintenance
• A keen eye for detail and the ability to stay calm under pressure
• A customer-focused mindset and a collaborative team spirit
• A full, valid driving licence is preferred but not essential
About Us
You'll be joining an industry leader that's growing and genuinely committed to your success. At GAP, we're proud to be the UK's leading equipment hire provider—supporting projects big and small across construction, infrastructure, events, and more. With nearly 200 locations nationwide and a wide range of specialist divisions, we offer exciting opportunities in everything from Plant and Tools to Lifting, Survey, Pumps, Power and Environmental, and Event Services.
As a family-run business with over 50 years of experience, we believe in doing things the right way. That means:
• More investment in our equipment than anyone else in the industry, so you work with the best tools in the game
• Remaining fully independent, which lets us make agile, long-term decisions that support your success
• Offering real career growth, training, and development from day one
• Support that values you – from generous holidays to Life Assurance and Health & Wellness Support
Whether you're hands-on or customer-focused, there's a place for you at GAP where your work makes a difference. If you're up for the challenge and want to feel valued at work, then we'd love to hear from you! Ready to get started? Upload your CV and complete our short application—we'll take it from there.
