We're looking for a hands on, skilled Plant & Hire Equipment Technician to join our Inverness team, playing a key role in keeping our hire fleet safe, maintained, and ready when our customers need it most.

The Role

What you'll be doing:
  • Servicing, maintaining and preparing plant and hire equipment
  • Inspecting, testing and repairing returned hire equipment

  • Strong fault finding and problem solving skills
  • A high level of attention to detail and quality
  • The ability to work both independently and as part of a team

Experience with plant, groundcare, agricultural, automotive or small engine equipment is all relevant - if you've worked with machinery, we want to hear from you.
