Heavy Plant Fitter RecruitmentBristol

Looking for a heavy plant fitter in Bristol? We don't give you candidates, we give you capacity: heavy plant fitters on contract for immediate cover or permanent for the long term, across Bristol and South West. Typical salary £34,000 to £46,000.

The Heavy Plant Fitter Role

Heavy plant fitters keep excavators, loading shovels, dump trucks and crushing spreads running, and in an industry where a machine down is production lost, a good fitter pays for himself many times over. Demand comfortably exceeds supply: the skill takes years to build, the workforce is ageing, and dealers, hire firms and operators all compete for the same people. ARG places heavy/mobile plant fitters for permanent roles, field-service positions and contract shutdowns.
