Tired of spending your day driving between jobs?

What if you could earn £46,000 basic, keep the benefits of a company van and fuel card, and be based primarily from a workshop instead of spending hours on the road?

This is an opportunity for an experienced Agricultural or Plant Technician to join a growing engineering team in Worthing, working on a wide range of specialist agricultural and heavy equipment while enjoying the stability of a workshop-based role.

Many engineering positions involve constant travelling, long days on the road and unpredictable schedules. This role offers something different. You'll be based mainly from a modern workshop, giving you a consistent working location, better work-life balance and the opportunity to focus on what you do best - maintaining and repairing machinery.



What's In It For You?

✅ £46,000 Basic Salary
✅ Workshop-Based Role with Minimal Travelling
✅ Company Van & Fuel Card
✅ Monday-Friday Working Pattern (7am-5pm)
✅ Optional Saturday Overtime at Time and a Half
✅ Stable, Long-Term Career Opportunity
✅ Work on a Diverse Range of Agricultural & Plant Equipment
✅ Supportive Team Environment
✅ Excellent Work-Life Balance Compared to Traditional Field Service Roles



The Role

As an Agricultural / Plant Technician, you'll be responsible for servicing, maintaining, diagnosing and repairing a variety of machinery and equipment, ensuring assets remain safe, reliable and fully operational.

Working from a well-equipped workshop, you'll carry out routine maintenance, inspections and repairs across mechanical, hydraulic and electrical systems while maintaining high standards of workmanship and safety.



Key Responsibilities

  • Service, maintain and repair agricultural and plant machinery.

  • Accurately complete service records and job documentation.
  • Work efficiently to minimise equipment downtime.
  • Ensure all work is completed in line with health and safety requirements.
  • Support the wider engineering team when required.


Who We're Looking For

We're looking for an engineer who enjoys fault-finding, takes pride in delivering quality work and wants to join a business that genuinely values skilled technicians.

You'll ideally come from an agricultural, plant, construction equipment, HGV or heavy engineering background and be confident working independently within a workshop environment.



Ideally You'll Have:

  • Experience as an Agricultural Engineer, Plant Fitter, Plant Technician, HGV Technician, Construction Equipment Engineer or similar.
  • Strong mechanical, hydraulic and electrical diagnostic skills.
  • Experience working on diesel engines, transmissions, hydraulics and electrical systems.
  • The ability to diagnose faults and carry out repairs efficiently.
  • Experience servicing and maintaining heavy machinery, plant equipment, tractors, telehandlers, loaders, municipal vehicles or similar equipment.
  • A recognised engineering qualification such as NVQ Level 2, NVQ Level 3, City & Guilds or equivalent (beneficial but not essential).

  • Strong attention to detail and commitment to high standards.
  • Good communication skills and a professional approach to work.
