Shift Operations Technician

What will I be doing?

Working 12-hour rotating shifts (days and nights, averaging 37.5 hours per week with generous time off in between), you'll help keep our plant running safely and efficiently:

• Monitor, control, and optimise plant processes using the Distributed Control System (DCS), quickly resolving issues to maintain high performance.
• Operate and maintain water tube boilers, including conducting water analysis and ensuring optimal chemistry and operation.
• Perform safe system isolations when required to protect people, equipment, and the environment.
• Carry out regular inspections, fault diagnosis, and support safe energy generation during normal operations, start-ups, shutdowns, and emergencies.
• Ensure full compliance with health & safety protocols and environmental legislation at all times.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experience levels — your enthusiasm for safe, sustainable operations is just as important as technical knowledge:

• Experience in energy recovery, waste-to-energy, power plants, or similar industrial processes (essential; transferable skills considered).
• Familiarity with boilers, combustion, process control, and relevant health & safety/environmental legislation.
• DCS operating experience (desired but not essential — training provided).
• Preferred: BOAS Cert IBO and/or IOSH Working Safely qualifications (we'll fully support you to gain these from day one if needed).
