The job

What a mechanical fitter does on an overseas contract.

Written from the demand letters our clients actually send us — not a generic description.

Typical duties

  • Preventive and breakdown maintenance on production machinery
  • Pump, gearbox, bearing and coupling replacement, and shaft alignment
  • Hydraulic and pneumatic system service — cylinders, valves, hoses and seals
  • Conveyor, chain, belt and roller maintenance
  • Machining, fitting and basic fabrication support where needed
  • Recording work orders and following lock-out / tag-out procedures

The trade test

A hands-on assessment: measure with a vernier and micrometer, identify bearing and seal types, demonstrate coupling alignment, and answer questions on lubrication schedules and safe isolation.

Documents that help you

  • ITI in fitter or mechanic trade, or a diploma in mechanical engineering
  • Experience certificates naming the machinery you maintained
  • Any rigging, confined-space or work-permit training certificates

All questions

Is a fitter the same as a mechanical technician?

Employers use the words differently. "Fitter" usually means hands-on assembly and repair; "mechanical technician" often implies diagnosis, instruments and paperwork as well. The demand letter defines the grade, and the trade test decides which one you are offered.

What experience do European factories look for?

Polish and Russian manufacturers hiring Indian fitters generally want documented factory experience on production machinery, and they read the experience certificate carefully because it forms part of the work-permit file.

How do I apply for a mechanical fitter job abroad?

Upload your CV on this website — it is free and takes a few minutes. Our team screens it against the demand letters we are working on, and calls you when there is a match. You then attend the interview or trade test, complete the medical, and we file the visa and, for ECR passports going to Gulf countries, the emigration clearance.

What should my CV show for a mechanical fitter vacancy?

Your trade stated plainly, the years of experience, the specific equipment or systems you worked on, and the names of the employers with dates. Attach your experience certificates and any trade certificate. Vague CVs get skipped — employers shortlist on specifics.

Do you charge candidates a fee?

Registration and CV upload are free. As a licensed Recruiting Agent we may charge a service fee of up to forty-five days’ wages once you are selected, against a receipt. Nobody at Galaxy Enterprises will ask you for cash without a receipt — if that happens, report it to us directly.

Are you a mechanical fitter?

Upload your CV once, free. When an employer opens a demand for your trade we call you for the interview or trade test — and we tell you the country, the contract and the wage before you commit to anything.
