Mechanical Technician
Location: Sheerness
Hours: Monday to Thursday: 8:15am - 5:00pm - Friday: 8:30am - 4:00pm
Salary: Competitive + guaranteed overtime + excellent benefits
We're recruiting for a Mechanical Technician to join a well-established engineering business specialising in heavy-duty driveline systems and power transmission equipment. This is a hands-on workshop role suited to candidates from heavy engineering backgrounds such as HGV, rail, marine, plant, or industrial machinery.
If you have solid experience working on gearboxes, transmissions, axles, heavy plant, or similar mechanical systems, this role offers long-term stability, technical variety, and genuine development opportunities.
The Role
- Strip, inspect, repair and overhaul heavy-duty transmissions, torque converters, axles and associated components
- Carry out fault-finding, servicing and mechanical rebuilds to high engineering standards
- Interpret technical drawings and manufacturer documentation
- Work predominantly in a workshop environment, with occasional site visits if required
- Maintain high standards of health & safety and workshop housekeeping
What We're Looking For
- Proven hands-on mechanical engineering experience within heavy industry
- Background in HGV, rail, marine, plant, industrial machinery, or heavy equipment environments
- Strong experience with gearboxes, transmissions or rotating machinery
- Confident fault-finding and problem-solving ability
- Formal mechanical engineering qualification (advantageous but not essential with relevant experience)
- Basic hydraulic or electrical knowledge beneficial
This role would particularly suit candidates from the marine sector or those used to working on heavy driveline systems rather than light automotive vehicles.
What's On Offer
- Competitive salary
- Guaranteed overtime
- Profit-related bonus scheme
- 25 days annual leave + bank holidays (option to buy 5 additional days)
- Company pension scheme
- Salary sacrifice benefits (EV car scheme, Cycle2Work, Tax-Free Childcare)
- Discounts on health, gyms and shopping
- Ongoing training and career development
- Mobile phone and laptop
- Supportive team environment with open-door management
This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced Mechanical Technician looking to apply their heavy engineering expertise within a specialist and growing business.
