Are you a skilled Gearbox Fitter who takes pride in precision engineering and quality workmanship?

Do you enjoy diagnosing faults, rebuilding complex machinery, and seeing a job done properly?

We’re looking for a hands‑on, detail‑driven Gearbox Fitter to join our busy and growing gearbox repair team. You’ll play a key role in dismantling, inspecting, rebuilding, and reporting on a wide range of industrial gearboxes — contributing directly to reliability, safety, and performance for our customers.

• Dismantling and assembling a wide range of industrial gearboxes to a high standard
• Carrying out detailed inspections and producing clear, accurate reports on condition and faults
• Interpreting engineering drawings, technical data, and specifications
• Ensuring all work meets quality, health & safety, and environmental standards
• Working independently while taking full ownership of accuracy and workmanship
• Supporting continuous improvement by identifying smarter, more efficient ways of working
• Responding to urgent or emergency repair requirements when needed

This is a varied role within a busy workshop environment, offering real scope for development for the right person.

• Time‑served apprenticeship in a relevant engineering discipline or equivalent hands‑on experience
• Solid working knowledge of gearboxes and mechanical assemblies
• Confident using measuring and inspection equipment to ensure accuracy and quality
• Ability to read and interpret engineering drawings and technical data
• Strong problem‑solving skills and a proactive, practical mindset
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
• Health & Safety, environmental, or quality training is an advantage — but not essential.

• GCSEs (or equivalent)
• Proven experience in a mechanical or gearbox‑related role

• Stable, long‑term role within a specialist engineering team
• Opportunity to work on varied and technically interesting equipment
• Supportive workshop environment that values quality and skill
• Career development potential for motivated engineers

If you’re a gearbox fitter who enjoys hands‑on engineering, fault‑finding, and producing work you’re proud of — we’d love to hear from you.
