About this role

NIGHT SHIFT PLANT FITTER



Up to £82,000 Basic Salary | Up to £35 Per Hour | Overtime Available

If you're an experienced Plant Fitter who's tired of being underpaid for keeping critical machinery running, this could be exactly what you're looking for.

This is a rare opportunity offering up to £35 per hour, equating to a basic salary of up to £82,000 per year, working permanent night shifts within a busy and highly automated waste and recycling operation.

The site relies heavily on its engineering team, which means you'll be valued, trusted, and rewarded for the impact you make.



What You'll Be Doing

Your job is simple: keep the plant running.

You'll be carrying out maintenance, fault-finding and repairs across a wide range of mobile and static equipment to ensure production never stops for longer than necessary.

Expect to work on:

  • Loading shovels
  • Waste handlers
  • Mobile shredders
  • Skid steer loaders
  • Forklifts
  • Conveyor systems
  • Vibrating screens
  • Air separation equipment
  • Magnets and recycling plant machinery

When breakdowns happen, you'll be the engineer that gets things back up and running.

When machinery starts showing signs of wear, you'll spot it before it becomes a costly failure.



What's In It For You?



Financial Package

  • Up to £35 per hour
  • Up to £82,000 basic salary
  • Paid overtime available
  • Company pension


The Working Environment

  • Permanent night shifts
  • Modern recycling facility with significant investment
  • One of the most advanced processing operations of its kind
  • Stable workload and long-term job security
  • On-site parking


The Role Itself

  • Variety of machinery
  • Plenty of autonomy
  • Mix of planned and reactive maintenance
  • Opportunity to make a genuine impact on site performance


You'll Be a Good Fit If...

You have experience as a:

  • Plant Fitter
  • Mobile Plant Engineer
  • Heavy Plant Technician
  • Mechanical Maintenance Engineer
  • Maintenance Fitter

And you can confidently work on:

  • Hydraulic systems
  • Mechanical drive systems
  • Bearings, belts and conveyors
  • Heavy plant machinery
  • Industrial processing equipment

Welding and fabrication experience would be a major advantage.



Why This Role Stands Out

Most engineering adverts talk about being "competitive".

This one puts the numbers on the table.

Up to £82,000 basic salary.

Up to £35 per hour.

Permanent night shift.

Overtime available.

If you're the kind of engineer who can keep machinery productive, minimise downtime and solve problems when others can't, you'll be rewarded accordingly.
