Cheltenham Base | UK & International Site Work

Build Quality Machinery. See Projects Through. Travel When Required.

We’re looking for a skilled Mechanical Fitter to join a growing engineering team building bespoke automation and conveyor systems.

This isn’t repetitive production-line work. You’ll be assembling well-designed, custom-built machinery from detailed drawings — taking real ownership of your work and seeing projects through from workshop build to on-site installation.

With paid overtime, early Friday finishes, and international travel opportunities, this role offers variety, responsibility, and long-term stability.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Mechanical assembly of bespoke automation and conveyor systems

  
  

• Fitting frames, guards, bearings, shafts, drives and precision components

  
  

• Building medium-sized assemblies and sub-assemblies

  
  

• Installing and setting up pneumatic systems (valves, cylinders, actuators, airlines)

  
  

• Working confidently from mechanical engineering drawings

  
  

• Mechanical fault-finding, alignment and final adjustments

  
  

• Supporting installations at customer sites in the UK and overseas

  
  

• Carrying out basic electrical tasks where required (e.g. mounting sensors, routing cables)

  
  

• Maintaining high standards of safety, accuracy, and workmanship

  
  

  The Ideal Candidate

  • Time-served or experienced Mechanical Fitter / Mechanical Assembler

    
    

  • 3+ years’ experience building industrial machinery, automation equipment, or conveyors

    
    

  • Confident using hand and power tools

    
    

  • Strong ability to read and interpret mechanical drawings

    
    

  • Pneumatics experience is advantageous

    
    

  • Able to work independently and as part of a team

    
    

  • Takes pride in producing high-quality work

    
    

    Travel & Working Pattern

    • Based in Cheltenham

      
      

    • Travel approximately 30–40% of the time

      
      

    • Around 6 trips per year

      
      

    • Typically up to 2 weeks away at a time

      
      

    • UK and international projects including USA and Canada

      
      

      All travel includes hotel accommodation, daily allowance, and overtime pay.

      What’s on Offer

      • £17.50 per hour

        
        

      • Overtime paid at 1.5x

        
        

      • Early finish every Friday (14:00)

        
        

      • Uniform and PPE supplied

      • Private health insurance (after probation)

        
        

      • Cycle to Work scheme

        
        

      • Friendly, supportive team with long-term prospects

        • Full UK driving licence (maximum 3 points)

          
          

        • British or EU passport (required for USA/Canada travel)

          
          

        • No criminal convictions preventing overseas travel
