Fitter
We are looking for a Fitter who takes real pride in a job well done. If you are interested in working in a varied, fast paced quarry environment with a great team then get in contact with us.
Based at Little Catwick quarry, you’ll never be short of a challenge in this vast site operation. We’re looking for someone who turns up ready to work and gets stuck in from the moment they arrive on site. Someone who measures a good day by what they’ve achieved on the ground and how much they have supported the team being able to carry out their jobs. If you strive to be that Fitter who hits the ground running, keeps machines in good order and takes real satisfaction from watching the plant operate smoothly, we want to speak with you.
We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Fitter to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for the assembly, and maintenance of structures and components in a quarry environment. Your hands-on skills and experience will contribute to the successful completion of projects on time and to high standards in a busy environment.
