Are you a well qualified and experienced maintenance technician / engineer, with a background in process engineering industry, ideally energy from waste?
Then we want to speak to you!

In return, we offer a salary of £39,155 - £45,930 plus up to 10% Bonus (~ £4,593), Call-Out Allowance (~ £2,500), Company Pension, and benefits catalogue.
Total Package at the time of joining up to £53,023.
We’ll help you progress, and develop yourself further, and will support you with creating a development plan to achieve that.

What will I be doing?

You'll be making sure our Suffolk Energy Recovery plant is fully operational at all times. Day-to-day, you’ll plan and carry out a range of maintenance activities, leading and developing your team, whilst making sure safety, health and environmental standards are adhered to at all times. A cost-effective approach is important too, but best practice is crucial. Using your knowledge and experience, you’ll lead junior members of electrical maintenance team to perform at their best and provide specialist advice whenever required.

What are the requirements?

This is a role for a confident professional who has worked in a heavy industry in a hands-on maintenance role before. You’ll have an HNC in Electrical or Instrumentation field (or equivalent experience), and good working knowledge of environmental legislation. A Health & Safety qualification would be great but we’re more interested in your ability to lead a team, explain technical matters clearly, and improve plant availability.
