Mechanic, Leeds Leeds, England
Job description
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.
The Boels Family
With over 7,000 colleagues, 750 branches in 18 countries, the Boels family business is one of Europe's leaders in machine and tool hire. Our values describe the way we work. Firstly, we are proactive. Together we get things done and go that extra mile. With our dedication, we deliver the best results. Secondly, we think and work as one company. We share our ideas and our ways of working. Are there problems? We solve them together! Because together, we are one big orange family!
The orange team in Leeds that you can be a part of consists of several enthusiastic colleagues in various fields. This depot is conveniently located to the South of Leeds, on Gelderd Road.
Your Profile
‘You roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty’ ‘You enjoy transforming varied equipment into serviceable pieces of kit for our customers to hire’: It's you, so you fit into our orange team in Leeds! To also become the best at Boels Rental as a Mechanic, you have to:
- 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)
- 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)
- Be able to work independently, and make decisions, without direct supervision. (You have a superb knowlege of plant equipment and small tools and you proactively 'crack-on' and get the job done!)
- 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!)
- 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)
