Mechanical Maintenance Fitter
Greater Manchester
Salary: Competitive + Benefits
Breedon is a leading construction materials group in the UK and Ireland. We operate two cement plants, around 80 quarries, 40 asphalt plants, 170 ready-mixed concrete and mortar plants, nine concrete and clay products plants, four contract surfacing businesses, six import/export terminals and two slate production facilities.
We are currently seeking a Mechanical Maintenance Fitter to join our production team across Greater Manchester.
You will be responsible for developing a preventative maintenance system and carrying out planned maintenance activities to ensure that our concrete plants operate safely and reliably. You will also play a key 'hands on' role in the planning and implementation of plant improvements. You will need to have the ability to quickly fault find and respond to any unplanned plant shutdowns. Some of your work will involve working with production colleagues on the telephone to understand issues and to provide advice, so your ability to communicate effectively is vital. This is a mobile role and so you will be required to be highly self-motivated and flexible in your approach.
Experience in an industrial maintenance role would be a distinct advantage, as would a positive record and attitude towards health and safety. It would also be an advantage if you have experience of fault finding, cutting, grinding and welding in addition to general maintenance activities. You should also have strong IT skills.
You will be provided with a van to travel between sites, so a full driving licence is essential.
The Group places the highest importance on sustained standards of excellence in all aspects of Health, Safety and Environmental management and you will be expected to contribute to the Company's zero harm culture.
A competitive remuneration package will be offered including business-use van, pension and life assurance.
By applying for this role, your details will be sent to Ortolan People, who are acting as consultants for the hiring company. Ortolan People are engaged to provide recruitment support in processing applications. We will endeavour to respond to all applicants within three working days. Occasionally for roles with a very high volume of applicants, this may not be possible.
