Mechanical Fitter (Plant / Generators)

Mechanical Fitter (Plant / Generators)

Glasgow

£32,000 - £36,000 + Training + Progression + D2D Pay+ Company Van + Overtime + Workshop Based + Mobile

Are you a Service Engineer with experience working on diesel equipment looking for a varied role split between workshop and field work, offering specialist training on mobile welfare cabins, a company van with all the tools and extensive overtime at 1.5x and progression to senior levels?

This specialist in static or mobile welfare cabins supplying nationwide to the construction industry has seen rapid growth from its recent establishment. Starting with just 20 cabins in 2014, this enterprise now boasts over 700 cabins working nationwide. They are now looking for someone to join their tight-knit team servicing these homes at a local patch.

In this role, you will split your time between the depot workshop and field-based service work across Scotland and the Midlands. In the workshop, you will prepare, inspect, service and repair units, generators, and tower lights. In the field, you will carry out installation, servicing, and reactive maintenance on cabin units, generators, and tower lights, diagnosing faults and getting equipment back up and running.

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.
