The Heavy Plant Fitter Market

Heavy plant fitters keep excavators, loading shovels, dump trucks and crushing spreads running, and in an industry where a machine down is production lost, a good fitter pays for himself many times over. Demand comfortably exceeds supply: the skill takes years to build, the workforce is ageing, and dealers, hire firms and operators all compete for the same people. ARG places heavy/mobile plant fitters for permanent roles, field-service positions and contract shutdowns.
