Plant Fitter Ready for a Step Up? Become a Yard Manager. Chertsey Monday-Friday £50,000-£55,000 If you're a Plant Fitter who loves being hands‑on but knows you're capable of more - more responsibility, more influence, more money - this role is built for you. This is your chance to stay on the tools, keep doing the practical engineering you're great at, while stepping up into a leadership position where you run the yard, make decisions, and take ownership of how everything operates. It's the ideal blend: hands‑on plant fitting with genuine yard management authority. Why This Role Stands Out Most "progression" roles pull you off the tools and stick you behind a desk. Not this one. Here, you'll still be repairing, servicing, diagnosing, and working on plant machinery - but you'll also be the person who controls the yard, organises the workflow, and keeps the operation running smoothly. If you've ever thought: "I'm ready for more responsibility - but I still want to be hands‑on…" This role is exactly that. What You'll Be Doing Hands‑on plant maintenance - hydraulics, mechanical, electrical, fault‑finding, servicing. Running the yard - organising machinery, vehicles, equipment, and daily operations. Planning the workload - you decide what gets done first and how the yard flows. Diagnostics & repairs - you remain the technical expert on the ground. Safety leadership - ensuring the yard runs safely and professionally. Stock & parts control - managing inventory and ordering what's needed. Supporting operators & drivers - you're the go‑to problem solver. Improving processes - spotting inefficiencies and fixing them. This is a role where your experience finally gets the authority it deserves. Who This Role Is Perfect For This is ideal for a fitter who: Wants a step up without losing the hands‑on side Enjoys organising, planning, and taking charge Wants to earn £50-£55K for the responsibility they take on Likes being the person who keeps the yard running Wants Monday-Friday stability Is ambitious enough to run a yard and make it their own If you've ever wanted to move into supervision, yard management, or operations leadership, this is the perfect progression role.
