Job Description
Package: Competitive (DOE) + Company Van + Overtime (as required) + Tools Support
Location: Northampton (yard-based with local field work)
Industry: Construction Plant / Heavy Equipment / Used Plant
The Business
A busy, growing plant machinery business based in Northampton is looking to add an additional Service Engineer due to increased workload. The business works across a mixed range of new and used plant machinery and needs someone practical, hands-on and comfortable with variety.
The Role
This is a hands-on role supporting both the workshop and on-site work. The current split is roughly 70% workshop / 30% field, but the field element is expected to grow over time as service demand increases.
You’ll be involved in machine prep, PDI, servicing, repairs and breakdown support across a varied fleet. This would suit someone who can get stuck in, work on their own initiative and isn’t fazed by a busy environment with mixed equipment.
Key Responsibilities:
- PDI and preparation of new and used plant machinery
- Routine servicing and maintenance
- Fault-finding and repairs (workshop and on-site)
- Breakdown support and customer call-outs as required
- Mechanical, hydraulic and basic electrical diagnostics
- Working on attachments and associated equipment (e.g. buckets/breakers)
- Accurate job sheets/service paperwork and clear communication with the workshop team
- Proven experience working on heavy plant / construction machinery
- Strong mechanical and hydraulic servicing/fault-finding skills
- Basic electrical diagnostics capability (not a heavily electrical role)
- Self-sufficient, practical and happy to muck in where needed
- Comfortable working in both the workshop and out on site
- Full UK driving licence
- NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) ideal (or time-served with strong plant experience)
- Background from plant hire/mixed fleet/independent service environments is highly relevant
- A varied role with a proper mix of workshop and field work
- Company van provided
- Overtime available when required (workload dependent)
- Tools support is flexible depending on your setup
- A stable, long-term opportunity within a busy business with a solid team environment
- Salary/package agreed based on experience
If you’re a plant engineer/fitter who enjoys variety and a hands-on environment, we’d like to hear from you.
