We are recruiting for a hands-on, mechanically minded Hydraulic Fitter to join a well-established engineering business based in Rochester.
This is an excellent opportunity for a practical individual with mechanical fitting or engineering experience who is looking to develop their skills within a specialist engineering environment. Hydraulic experience would be advantageous but is not essential, as full training and development can be provided for the right person.
Primarily workshop-based, the role will involve the assembly, repair and maintenance of hydraulic and mechanical equipment, with occasional site work across the South East.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble, strip down and fit hydraulic and mechanical equipment
- Carry out fault finding, diagnostics and problem-solving on hydraulic and mechanical systems
- Undertake a variety of stripping, fitting, repair and reclamation work
- Read and interpret engineering drawings, specifications and job instructions
- Plan and organise work to ensure jobs are completed efficiently and to a high standard
- Assist with the installation, removal and replacement of hydraulic and mechanical components
- Occasionally support site service engineers with repairs, maintenance and installations at customer locations across the South East
- Maintain high standards of workmanship, health and safety and general workshop organisation
