About the job

Boels Pit Stop

Are you taking care of Boels Rental in Heathrow? Driving along in your orange Boels van, you’ll be able to sing along to the radio to your heart’s content! As our Mechanic (field based), you will be kept busy servicing, maintaining and repairing light and medium machinery and plant equipment.

After your repair task is completed, you’ll then get busy using electronic equipment to check, and test that machinery, so that it is certified safe and fit to be hired out to our customers in and around the Heathrow area.

Some of the machinery that you could get the chance to work on is engines, transmission systems, hydraulics, electronics, pneumatic, and parts of plant chassis/frames, such as tracks, wheels and booms. You will have the chance to service and repair anything from generators, compressors and concrete mixers to compacting machines, (road rollers/plates), powered hand tools and disc cutters. You’ll never get bored, that’s for sure!

With your acute awareness of H&S compliance, you will carefully carry out safety inspections and checks, keeping comprehensive records of the work. As an experienced mechanical fitter, safety and quality will, of course, come naturally to you anyway. Your usual working hours will be Monday to Friday, 0730hrs to 1700hrs.

The orange team in Heathrow that you can be a part of consists of several enthusiastic colleagues in various fields. Although your colleagues will be on hand, you will be spending the majority of your time out and about the Heathrow area, ensuring that the machines out on site are serviced and repaired as required. This depot is conveniently located right by Heathrow Airport.
