* Undertake planned general and first‑line maintenance and fault finding to achieve availability and reliability targets.
* Monitor plant performance, identifying and taking proactive measures to improve performance shortfalls.
* Adopt and enact roles within the site safety rules, including isolation of mechanical plant and electrical apparatus.
* Support with testing of the site emergency/abnormal condition plans.

* Assist in maintaining an accurate and comprehensive shift log and ensuring all defects and works are recorded within the site’s computer system.
Benefits
* Be part of a growing, green‑energy, future‑focused industry.
* Excellent training: control room operation, safety procedures, and plant systems.
* Competitive salary of £35,000 to £40,000 depending on experience and qualifications held, plus benefits.
* Opportunities to upskill into mechanical, electrical, or control roles.
* A supportive team culture where your ideas matter.
* Shift patterns that offer work‑life balance. The role is part of a rotating shift team; flexibility is important as shift patterns may be adjusted to support the power plant’s needs.
