The Heavy Plant Fitter Role
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.
Aggregates in Leeds & Yorkshire
Yorkshire is one of the UK's heartlands for hard-rock quarrying and aggregates, with a dense cluster of gritstone and limestone operations, asphalt coating plants and ready-mix networks across West and North Yorkshire. Leeds sits at the commercial centre of it, so demand runs across the full stack, quarry management, plant maintenance, controls and surfacing, and the ageing workforce makes experienced operational hires genuinely hard to secure.
