A Unique Opportunity
Join one of the UK's most exciting new Energy Recovery Facilities (ERF) at Ellesmere Port. We're looking for 3 experienced Control & Instrumentation Technicians ready to be part of something from the ground up - supporting pre-commissioning, hot commissioning, and helping shape operational standards from day one.
This role is ideal for Control & Instrumentation Technicians who want more than maintenance - initially, you'll be writing procedures, feeding back into operational decisions, and growing as the site grows. The early phase will be hands-on but measured, with the pace picking up significantly as we move to commissioning and full operation.
It truly is a brilliant time for Control & Instrument Technicians to join team building activities that are held frequently to support strong collaboration from the start.
Key Responsibilities
- Hands-on electrical/control & instrumentation system maintenance and fault-finding
- Support with OEM manual reviews and maintenance documentation
- Assist in developing safe systems of work and CMMS maintenance strategies
- Collaborate on site-wide KPIs and plant performance
- Participate in outage planning, execution, and Root Cause Analyses
- Support plant improvements and contractor supervision
- Maintain excellent housekeeping and promote safety culture
What We're Looking For
- Controls and instrumentation bias
- Electrical/Instrumentation apprenticeship (or equivalent experience)
- Background in ERF, power generation, or heavy process industry
- Experience with switchgear, control gear, motors, VSDs, DCS/SCADA
- Comfortable with P&IDs, schematics, technical documentation
- Strong communicator with sound H&S knowledge
Ready to Build from the Ground Up?
This is more than a job - it's a chance to be part of the DNA of a brand-new ERF site. You won't just operate a plant; you'll help shape it. If you're excited by pre-commissioning, enjoy influencing standards, and want to be part of a collaborative, high-performing team from the beginning - we want to hear from you.
