A Snapshot of Your Day
As a Plant Maintenance Mechanical Fitter within our Machine Maintenance team, you will play a key role in keeping manufacturing operations across Ruston Works and Teal Park running safely and reliably.
Your day will involve:
- Diagnosing mechanical faults
- Carrying out emergency repairs
- Completing planned and preventative maintenance across a wide range of industrial plant and production machinery
You will work on equipment including CNC machines, lathes, mills and associated mechanical systems, using your experience to identify problems and restore equipment to operation as efficiently as possible.
This is a hands-on role suited to an experienced, time-served Mechanical Fitter who is confident working independently on complex machinery while also sharing knowledge with less experienced colleagues.
How You’ll Make An Impact
- Diagnose and troubleshoot complex mechanical faults across industrial plant and production machinery, including CNC machines, lathes and mills, carrying out repairs to minimise production downtime.
- Complete planned, preventative and predictive maintenance activities, identifying developing equipment issues before they result in breakdowns or disruption to manufacturing.
- Service and maintain mechanical equipment through activities including cleaning, lubrication, alignment, adjustment and replacement of worn or defective components.
- Install, level, align and commission new or relocated machinery and equipment in accordance with engineering requirements and site safety procedures.
- Work across mechanical systems including hydraulics and pneumatics, using appropriate tools, lifting equipment and diagnostic techniques to safely complete maintenance activities.
- Maintain accurate service and maintenance records, comply with all Environmental, Health and Safety requirements and provide practical guidance to apprentices and less experienced colleagues.
