I'm currently working with a well-established plant hire business who are looking to appoint an experienced Mobile Plant Fitter / Field Service Engineer / Mobile Plant Mechanic to cover the Midlands region, operating from their Tamworth depot.

This is a field-based role, ideal for someone who has worked as a Plant Fitter, Mobile Plant Engineer, Field Service Technician, Heavy Plant Mechanic, Construction Plant Engineer, Telescopic Handler Technician, Diesel Mechanic, or Plant Maintenance Engineer.

Most of your work will be carried out on customer sites, so this suits someone who prefers autonomy, variety, and getting away from a fixed workshop environment.

You'll be responsible for keeping a key fleet of telehandlers operational and customer-ready:

• On-site fault finding, diagnostics, and breakdown repairs
• Servicing and maintenance of telehandlers (JCB, Manitou, and similar equipment)
• Ensuring machines are safe, compliant, and returned to service quickly
• Working independently across multiple customer locations
• Managing your workload and priorities effectively
• Providing a professional, customer-facing service

What I'm Looking For

• NVQ Level 2/3 in Plant Maintenance (or equivalent)
• Proven experience as a Mobile Plant Fitter / Field Service Engineer / Plant Mechanic
• Strong knowledge of diesel engines, hydraulics, and heavy plant systems
• Full UK driving licence (max 3 points)
• Ability to work independently and make decisions on-site
• Strong communication skills
• CSCS card is beneficial but not essential.

The Opportunity

This role is ideal for an experienced Field Service Engineer, Mobile Plant Fitter, Construction Plant Technician, or Heavy Plant Mechanic who wants independence, variety, and a properly organised operation behind them.

If you're currently in a workshop role and looking to move into the field, or already mobile and want a better-run environment, this is a strong opportunity.
