About your team
At Centrica Energy Storage +, our mission is to store it. Our onshore and offshore teams are united in their goal, to boost the UK’s energy security and drive down bills for customers. Rough, our North Sea storage facility, currently provides half of the UK’s gas storage – enough to heat 2.4 million homes over winter. But we’re not stopping there. We’ve got our sights set on transforming it into the world's largest hydrogen storage facility and creating a Net Zero connected energy hub in the Humber.
The Role
The role of the Onshore Operations Technician is to operate and monitor process plant and associated systems at the Onshore Terminal to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient gas storage and production operations. The role supports both control room and field operations, working under the direction of the Operations Supervisor.
