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 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.

Team building activities will be held often to support strong collaboration from the start.

Key Responsibilities

  • Hands-on electrical/control 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.
