Plant/Maintenance Fitter

Main Responsibilities

The role will include servicing, maintaining, diagnosing and repairing Konform’s vehicles, plant, machinery and tools.

You will be expected to carry out mechanical, hydraulic and basic electrical fault finding, planned servicing and preventative maintenance, as well as responding to breakdowns when they occur.

A major part of the position will be identifying problems early and keeping equipment properly maintained to reduce breakdowns and unnecessary downtime.

You will also be responsible for inspecting equipment returning from construction sites, identifying damage or defects and making sure it is repaired and ready before being sent back out.

Where a repair requires specialist involvement, you will be expected to identify the problem and liaise with manufacturers, dealers or specialist repair companies rather than allowing equipment to remain out of service unnecessarily.

Requirements

We are looking for someone who has developed a broad range of practical skills rather than someone limited to one particular trade or manufacturer.

You may currently be working as a plant fitter, agricultural engineer, HGV mechanic, commercial vehicle mechanic, construction plant engineer or in another similar mechanical role.

Ideally, you will have experience across several of the following areas:

· Diesel engines

· Petrol engines

· Commercial vehicles

· Heavy construction plant

· Hydraulics

· Auto electrics and electrical fault finding

· Small plant and tools

· Battery-powered equipment

· Welding and fabrication

· Pumps and generators

· General mechanical repairs

Experience working on excavators and construction plant would be particularly valuable.
