What will I be doing?

As a Mechanical Technician within our Energy Recovery facility, you will play a key role in ensuring plant and equipment operate safely, efficiently, and reliably.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Carrying out planned and reactive mechanical maintenance across site plant and equipment.
  • Using the Computerised Maintenance Management System (CMMS) to accurately record maintenance activities and updates.
  • Working collaboratively with colleagues across different engineering disciplines and supporting other sites when required.
  • Maintaining high standards of housekeeping, safety documentation, and plant records following modifications or repairs.
  • Participating in a paid 24-hour call-out rota and attending training and development activities as required.


What are the requirements?

  • Completed engineering apprenticeship with a City & Guilds qualification or NVQ Level 3 in a relevant engineering discipline.
  • Experience in maintenance engineering within a process, steam-raising, manufacturing, energy, waste, or heavy engineering environment.
  • Knowledge of safe systems of work, including permit-to-work procedures and working within regulated environments.
  • A health and safety qualification such as IOSH, alongside welding and burning experience.
  • Familiarity with CMMS, a basic understanding of electrical systems, and regulatory monitoring experience; MCERTS certification is desirable but not essential.
