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
