Introduction

Acorn by Synergie is recruiting for a hands-on Mechanical Fitter / Site Engineer to join a field service team based in Willand.

You'll work predominantly off-site at customer locations, assembling, installing, maintaining and repairing industrial machinery and equipment.

Travel time is paid, with a company van and fuel card provided. This is a varied role where no two days are the same, with the opportunity to work across different customer sites rather than being workshop-based.

What We Offer

• £33,000-£39,000 per annum, depending on experience.
• Monday to Friday, 40 hours per week.
• Overtime available, with no regular weekend or night work.

• Private use can be discussed.
• Paid travel time from home to the first job.
• Pension.
• Holiday allowance.

Key Duties

• Build and install mechanical systems, structures and industrial equipment on customer sites, working to specifications and deadlines.
• Carry out planned preventative maintenance to keep machinery running efficiently and minimise downtime.
• Diagnose faults and carry out mechanical repairs on industrial equipment, including bearings, gearboxes, hydraulics, conveyors and pumps.
• Read and work from engineering drawings to construct, install and modify mechanical systems and structures.
• Work safely on customer sites, following permits and RAMS and maintaining high standards of workmanship.
• Complete job sheets and service reports and highlight any issues or recommendations to the client.

Requirements

• Proven experience in assembly, installation and maintenance of industrial machinery and equipment.
• Strong mechanical fitting skills, including fitting, alignment, fault diagnosis and use of hand and power tools.
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings - essential for installing systems correctly.
• Self-motivated and able to problem-solve independently on site.
• Full UK driving licence - essential due to the travel requirements. No points preferred for insurance purposes.

Desirable Experience:

• Experience constructing mechanical systems and structures from scratch.
• Knowledge of hydraulics and pneumatics.
• Previous field service or Site Engineer experience.
• Welding skills or a fabrication background.
