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 based around the Market Harborough area, reporting into their Bedford 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.

You'll be covering customer sites locally and regionally, so this is well suited to someone who enjoys variety, independence, and being out on the road rather than tied to a workshop.

What You'll Be Doing

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
• Managing your own workload across customer sites
• Working independently while maintaining high standards
• Providing a professional, customer-facing engineering 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 manage priorities
• 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 consistency, early starts/early finishes, and a well-supported field operation.

If you're currently in a workshop role and looking to move into the field, or already mobile and looking for a more structured environment, this is a strong opportunity.
