Join us as a Maintenance Fitter

Wienerberger Ltd manufactures and provides wall, roof and landscaping products for the construction sector. We offer innovative and sustainable solutions across the whole building envelope for new build, renovation projects and across the building industry.

About the role

As a Mechanical Fitter, you will be part of an in-house engineering team that keeps production running safely and reliably. You will work hands-on with plant and equipment, supporting planned maintenance and responding to breakdowns to help maintain consistent output and quality.

Duties also include:

  • Diagnosing and repairing mechanical faults on production equipment
  • Supporting safe and efficient operation of specialist machinery
  • Working with hydraulic, pneumatic and drive chain systems
  • Replacing and aligning bearings
  • Supporting fabrication and welding tasks where required
  • Working closely with colleagues to minimise downtime

Your work will help us deliver reliable production of high-quality bricks for building/construction customers across the UK, supporting the performance and resilience of our operations.

There are opportunities to build your skills, learn from experienced colleagues and develop your career within our wider engineering community.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
