About the role
Location: Chesterfield – UK-wide travel
Pay: £13.84 per hour during training, rising to £14.85 per hour upon successful completion.
Looking for something different? Want to travel the UK, learn new skills and build a career in engineering?
We're recruiting for a Mobile Operative to join an established engineering business. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who enjoys hands-on work, doesn't mind travelling and is keen to learn something new.
No specialist engineering experience is needed – full training will be provided!
What's involved?
You'll travel to customer sites across the UK, helping operate specialist machinery and equipment on a variety of engineering projects.
Every project is different, so it's a great opportunity to get out and about rather than being based in the same workplace every day.
You'll need to be comfortable working away from home, sometimes for up to 10 days at a time. Accommodation, meal allowances and travel expenses are all covered.
The role involves a mixture of day shifts, nights and weekends, depending on the project. There is no fixed shift pattern, but the company generally provides at least one week's notice of upcoming work.
You'll often work independently, so reliability, a good attitude and a willingness to get stuck in are important.
What are we looking for?
We're much more interested in your attitude and flexibility than a long list of qualifications.
The essentials are:
-
A full UK driving licence.
-
Your own car.
-
Happy to travel anywhere in the UK.
-
Comfortable staying away from home for periods of up to 10 days.
-
Flexible to work days, nights and weekends.
-
Reliable, practical and willing to learn.
Any previous experience in manufacturing, warehousing, production, engineering, mechanical work or general operations would be beneficial, but isn't essential.
If you've got basic mechanical knowledge or experience using machinery, even better!
What's in it for you?
-
£13.84 per hour while training.
-
£14.85 per hour once training is successfully completed.
-
Saturday working paid at time and a half.
-
Sunday working paid at double time.
-
Additional £1 per hour night shift premium.
-
Fully paid accommodation when working away.
-
Meal allowance provided.
-
Travel expenses paid.
-
Full training provided – no specialist experience required.
-
Permanent employment.
-
Company pension.
-
Genuine opportunities to develop and progress within engineering.
Interested?
If you've got your own car, a full driving licence and the flexibility to travel and work away, we'd love to hear from you.
This could be the perfect opportunity to get your foot in the door of the engineering industry, learn new skills and develop a long-term career.

Please note: A full UK driving licence, your own car and complete flexibility to travel, stay away and work a mixture of days, nights and weekends are essential for this position.
