Hire Fitter

What you’ll be doing


You’ll work closely with the Hire Manager to ensure compliance with all mechanical and electrical processes related to the repair and testing of tools and equipment, maintaining the Hire standard.

  • You’ll assist your Hire Manager in managing all aspects of the Hire Department and business, ensuring that all equipment is fully repaired, tested, and safe for hire.

  • Your role will include delivering and collecting a wide range of tools and equipment to and from our customers.

  • With your growing knowledge of our products and services, you’ll be a key contact for customers, building strong relationships, understanding their needs, and offering expert advice while recommending alternatives to maximise sales and profitability.

  • Safety is our priority, so you will follow all Hire processes and procedures, including audits and inspections.

Who you are


Experience in the plant or hire industry is not essential, though it would be advantageous. A basic understanding of electrical, petrol, and diesel equipment is also a plus. More importantly, if you’re eager to learn and develop, we’re looking for transferable skills like excellent customer service and sales experience.

  • You are adaptable, resilient, and determined, with a high level of energy and drive.

  • You thrive in a busy, fast-paced environment and enjoy active work

  • You’re an experience driver with a full clean UK licence (3.5t)

  • You’re career-focused and keen to develop a long-term, rewarding career, with opportunities for progression within the company.

What’s in it for you


Being a Hire Fitter/Driver with BSS / Travis Perkins offers a great opportunity to excel and advance through our award-winning apprenticeships and development programs.
