About the Role
If you are a Senior Instrument Technician ready to step up into real ownership of maintenance, safety, and team performance, this is an operational site offering genuine responsibility. You will be supporting a well-established organization in the energy sector and will take charge of day-to-day maintenance delivery, team leadership, and plant reliability on a live site.
About the Site
This is a major site within the energy security infrastructure, operating at a high tempo year-round. The plant follows a seasonal cycle: building up capacity in the quieter months and running at peak output during winter demand. The site performs well, handling a live pipeline of maintenance, shutdown, and improvement projects to maintain output. Ongoing investment in the plant's future means increasing demands on the maintenance and engineering teams as the operation scales.
