Are you taking care of Boels Rental in Leeds? This a brand new role that has been created due to expansion and growth in the Yorkshire area. We are looking for a capable colleague who has a desire for growth and promotion in the future. As our new Mechanic, you will be kept busy servicing, maintaining and repairing light and medium machinery and plant equipment.
After your repair task is completed, you’ll then get busy using electronic equipment to check, and test that machinery, so that it is certified safe and fit to be hired out to our customers in Leeds.
Some of the machinery that you could get the chance to work on is engines, transmission systems, hydraulics, electronics, pneumatic, and parts of plant chassis/frames, such as tracks, wheels and booms. You will have the chance to service and repair anything from generators, compressors and concrete mixers to compacting machines, (road rollers/plates), powered hand tools and disc cutters. You’ll never get bored, that’s for sure!
This branch has an apprentice in the workshop, so you'll be expected to mentor them and share your technical knowledge.
With your acute awareness of H&S compliance, you will carefully carry out safety inspections and checks, keeping comprehensive records of the work. As an experienced mechanical fitter, safety and quality will, of course, come naturally to you anyway. Your working hours will be Monday to Friday, 0730hrs to 1700hrs.

What We Offer

• A competitive annual salary ranging from £28,126 to £33,751 plus quarterly performance based bonuses. The salary range represents the low and high end of the salary range for this position.

Your Profile

• Have a high level of mechanical, diagnostic and fault-finding skills, coupled with the ability to work quickly and effectively to minimise delays on site. (You love pulling kit apart, finding the issue and repairing it back to full serviceability)
• Have proven experience of repairing plant equipment and small tools. (Perhaps you have worked for one of our competitors in the past or you just know plant machinery inside-out and back-to-front!)
• Possess a desire to grow and be promoted into a workshop team leadership role in the near future (If you are just looking for a change of scenery but have no desire to grow and develop your career, this is not the role for you)
• Want to learn about new equipment and help to teach and mentor the other mechanics in the near future (your great communication and nurturing skills will be best utilised here)
• Be able to work independently, and make decisions, without direct supervision. (You proactively 'crack-on' and get the job done!)
• Hold a full UK Driving Licence. (You might need to jump into the Boels van and pop over to a customer's site to quickly rectify a technical issue)
• Have valid proof of your right to work in the UK. (Unfortunately Boels does not offer visa sponsorship)
