What you'll be doing
You’ll help keep our Isle of Man energy recovery plant running safely and efficiently:
- Monitor, control, and optimise plant processes using the Distributed Control System (DCS), quickly identifying and resolving issues.
- Operate and maintain water tube boilers, including water analysis, chemistry monitoring, and ensuring optimal performance.
- Perform safe system isolations to protect people, plant, and the environment.
- Carry out regular checks, fault diagnosis, and support safe, reliable energy generation during normal operations, start-ups, shutdowns, and emergencies.
- Ensure full compliance with health & safety standards and environmental legislation at all times.
What we're looking for
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and experience levels — enthusiasm for safe, sustainable operations is just as important as technical knowledge:
- Experience in energy recovery, waste-to-energy, power plants, or similar industrial processes (essential).
- Knowledge of boilers, combustion, process control, and relevant health & safety / environmental legislation.
- Preferred: BOAS Cert IBO and/or IOSH Working Safely qualifications
- DCS system operation experience (desired but not essential)
We particularly encourage applications from underrepresented groups in engineering, energy, and sustainability sectors. If you require any reasonable adjustments during the application or interview process, please let us know as we’re committed to being an inclusive employer.
This role delivers real-world impact on a greener future, ongoing training and mentorship, a supportive team, and the satisfaction of helping produce reliable low-carbon energy for the Isle of Man.
