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.

  • 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
About You
  • 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
What’s on Offer
  • 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
How to Apply
If you’re a plant engineer/fitter who enjoys variety and a hands-on environment, we’d like to hear from you.
