Mobile Plant Fitter in Southampton, Hampshire

Posted by Alecto Recruitment

Plant Fitter - Southampton / South Coast

£20+ per hour * Company van * 7am-4pm * 28 days holiday * Overtime available if wanted

If you're an experienced Plant Fitter looking for predictable hours, a solid hourly rate and a mixed workload, this South Coast role offers a proper step up.

You'll split your time between the workshop and construction sites across Southampton and the wider South Coast, working on a varied fleet of plant, machinery and small tools. No repetitive days - you'll handle everything from routine servicing to full mechanical repairs, plus on‑site breakdowns when equipment needs getting back online quickly.




The Role

  • Servicing and maintaining plant

  • Diagnosing mechanical and hydraulic faults

  • Major mechanical repairs

  • Repairing small tools and site equipment

  • Breakdown call‑outs to construction sites

  • Preventative maintenance

  • Preparing machinery to minimise downtime

  • Working independently and within the wider engineering team




Who We're Looking For

We're interested in speaking with:

  • Plant Fitters

  • Heavy Plant Fitters

  • Mobile Plant Engineers

  • Plant Engineers

  • Agricultural Engineers

  • Agricultural Fitters

  • Mechanical Fitters

You'll ideally have:

  • Experience repairing and maintaining plant, machinery or similar equipment

  • NVQ Level 3 in Plant Maintenance (or equivalent)

  • Strong mechanical and hydraulic fault‑finding skills

  • Experience with construction plant or heavy machinery

  • Confidence working independently on site

  • Full UK driving licence




The Package

  • £20+ per hour (experience dependent)

  • 7am-4pm, Monday to Friday

  • Company van provided

  • 28 days annual leave (5 retained for Christmas)

  • Overtime available if wanted

  • Workshop + mobile role across Southampton / South Coast




Why This Role Stands Out

If you're tired of long shifts, constant overtime or being stuck in a workshop all day, this role gives you balance - with the option to pick up extra hours when you want them.

You'll get:

  • A company van

  • Predictable hours

  • Strong hourly pay

  • A varied workload across workshop repairs and site breakdowns

  • Exposure to everything from small tools to major construction plant
