About the role

The Role

Ready to take your skills on the road and make an impact across an entire region?

We're looking for a skilled and flexible Regional Fitter (Plant Mechanic) to support our high performing Plant & Tool division. If you're experienced in plant maintenance, enjoy variety in your work, and thrive in a role where no two days are the same, this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.

Based from a “home” depot, you'll work across a defined region, supporting multiple GAP depots and customer sites as required. You'll provide additional fitting resource where demand is highest, helping to reduce downtime, clear backlogs, and keep equipment hire ready across the region.

This is a hands on, mobile role that plays a vital part in maintaining operational efficiency and high standards across the business.

About You

What You'll Be Doing

  • Servicing, maintaining, and repairing a wide range of plant and tools across the GAP fleet, including compressors, mini excavators, dumpers, trailers, and small tools
  • Diagnosing faults and carrying out repairs at depots and customer sites across the region
  • Providing additional technical support at depots where backlogs, capacity, or skills gaps exist
  • Completing planned servicing, repairs, and refurbishments to support equipment availability and minimise downtime
  • Checking, testing, and tagging equipment, accurately completing service records, test certificates, and associated paperwork
  • Working safely on customer sites and across depots, following all GAP and customer Health & Safety requirements
  • Maintaining a clean, organised, and professional workspace and vehicle (where provided)
  • Travelling regularly within the region, including overnight stays where required, to support operational needs

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.
