• Managing critical spares, engineering stores, suppliers and external contractors
• Ensuring compliance with PSSR, LOLER and COSHH requirements
• Supporting permit-to-work and safe isolation systems, including contractor risk assessments and method statements (RAMS)
• Providing technical support for breakdowns, fault-finding and engineering improvements

The engineering environment

You’ll work across a varied process plant incorporating gasification, steam and condensate systems, a turbine and generator, HV/LV electrical distribution, DCS/PLC controls, water treatment, conveyors, compressed air and flue gas abatement systems.

What you’ll bring

• Proven maintenance management experience within an industrial, manufacturing or process plant environment
• Experience leading and developing engineering teams
• An HNC, HND or degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering, or a relevant time-served apprenticeship
• Strong mechanical and/or electrical engineering knowledge
