The Role
Ready to get hands-on with industry-leading equipment and make a real impact?
We're looking for a skilled and motivated Plant Mechanic to join our high-performing Plant & Tool division. If you're passionate about machinery, thrive on solving problems, and want to be part of a business that's growing fast—this could be the opportunity you've been waiting for.
As a Plant Mechanic, you'll play a key role in keeping our fleet of diggers, dumpers, and hand tools hire-ready. You'll carry out servicing, maintenance, and repairs—both in the depot and occasionally on customer sites—ensuring our equipment is safe, reliable, and ready to go when our customers need it.
This is a hands-on, high-impact role offering real career progression in a company that invests in its people.
What You'll Be Doing
- Servicing and maintaining a wide range of plant and tool equipment within the GAP fleet
- Diagnosing faults and completing repairs efficiently to minimise downtime
- Accurately updating service records and ensuring compliance with safety standards
- Occasionally attending customer sites to carry out repairs and maintenance
- Supporting the depot team to ensure equipment availability and customer satisfaction
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- A keen eye for detail, the ability to stay calm under pressure, and a willingness to tackle challenges head-on
- A customer-focused mindset and a collaborative team spirit
- A full, valid driving licence is preferred but not essential (more than helpful!)
