Mechanical Fitter - Heavy Machinery / Vehicles

Job description

Mechnical Fitter

Southampton

Salary Circa £40,000 with shift enhancements (weekly rotation of days & nights)

If you are tired of giving up your weekends to heavy engineering shifts and want your Mondays back completely, then this roster is about to change your life.

The Role and About You

Imagine a mechanical fitting role where your weekend starts the moment you clock off, and you do not have to think about returning to work until Tuesday morning.

You will step into a highly optimised shift pattern that completely protects your personal time. Working strictly between Tuesday and Friday, you will completely bypass Monday morning blues. With a rotation of 4 day-shifts (Tuesday to Friday) followed by a 3-day weekend, and 3 night-shifts (Tuesday to Thursday) followed by a 4-day weekend, your time away from work is fully maximised.

Your day-to-day work will focus on the maintenance, inspection, and fault-finding of heavy vehicles. You will utilise your heavy mechanical skills to handle component replacements, brake testing, and structural repairs. If you come from a background in heavy plant, rolling stock, agricultural machinery, or heavy vehicle mechanics, your technical expertise will be highly valued here.

Ganymede is partnering with a key player in the transportation sector based at Southampton docks that recognises top-tier talent deserves a schedule that supports life outside of work as well as a good working environment at work. You will be backed by a team that takes pride in delivering excellence, providing you with a safe, modern workshop environment and the specialised tooling required to get the job done right first time.
