Job Description

If you're confident working with boilers, turbines and complex control systems...
And if you're ready for a role where safety, skill and precision really matter...
This is your opportunity to step up.
We're looking for a Process Technician to play a key role in the safe and efficient operation of a major Energy from Recovery facility in Kent - helping transform waste into vital energy while protecting the environment.
This isn't a background role.
You'll be central to operations. Trusted. Accountable. Valued.
What You'll Get in Return
We believe strong performance deserves strong reward.

• Competitive salary
• 25 days annual leave + Bank Holidays
• Pension scheme
• Life insurance
• Discretionary bonus scheme
• Structured on-the-job training and clear progression routes
• Employee recognition programme
• Refer-a-friend scheme
• Flexible benefits package (including high street discounts, Cycle to Work, Gymflex and more)
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme & Best Doctors Service

This is a long-term career move - not just another shift role.
What You'll Be Responsible For
As a Process Technician, you'll coordinate and carry out operational activities to ensure the plant runs safely, efficiently and in full compliance with environmental standards.
Your day-to-day will include:

• Operating plant systems safely and efficiently on a rotating shift basis
• Monitoring and controlling waste handling, boilers and furnace systems, steam turbine generators, ash handling, water treatment, conveyors and filtration systems
• Using and interrogating complex DCS and/or SCADA systems
• Diagnosing and rectifying process and equipment faults
• Completing detailed operational logs and accurate shift handovers
• Performing routine plant testing and managing safe shutdowns when required
• Supporting operational improvements and workplace investigations
• Acting as a Competent and Authorised Person for plant isolations
• Supporting site health, safety and environmental compliance, including inspections and emergency response duties

This is a role for someone who takes ownership - and understands the responsibility that comes with operating critical infrastructure.
Who You Are
You're technically strong. Safety-focused. Calm under pressure.
You enjoy problem-solving and you don't cut corners.
You'll ideally bring:

• A solid technical background in plant operations or maintenance
• Experience using DCS and/or SCADA systems
• Hands-on experience with large boilers, rotating equipment or similar process plant
• Strong understanding of operational procedures and safe systems of work
• Ability to carry out front-line maintenance
• NVQ Level 3 (or equivalent) in a technical/science discipline (preferred)
• IOSH Managing Safely (or willingness to complete)
• Computer literacy (Microsoft Office, CMMS systems etc.)
• Strong teamwork skills with the ability to work independently
• Flexibility to work shifts and adapt to operational demands

Most importantly - you take pride in running plant safely, efficiently and professionally.
Why This Role Matters
Energy recovery is playing a growing role in the UK's sustainability journey. Facilities like this reduce landfill, generate power and support environmental targets.
As a Process Technician, you won't just be operating equipment.
You'll be part of a mission-critical operation with real environmental impact.
