Plant and Hire Equipment Technician

At MacGregor Industrial Supplies, we don't just supply equipment - we keep businesses running. From plant and groundcare machinery to hire equipment, reliability matters. That's where you come in.

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.

You'll be at the heart of our operation - making sure equipment is serviced, repaired, and ready to go.

What you'll be doing:

• Servicing, maintaining and preparing plant and hire equipment
• Inspecting, testing and repairing returned hire equipment

• Ensuring equipment is cleaned, checked and ready for the next hire
• Supporting the wider team to maximise equipment availability
• Participating in a 1 in 4 weekend on-call rota to support customer needs

• Experience as a plant technician, mechanical technician, agricultural mechanic, small engine mechanic or similar
• 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.
