If you want real responsibility, real progression, and real impact...
And if you're looking for more than "just another shift job".
This could be exactly what you've been waiting for.
We're looking for a Support Technician to help operate and maintain a state-of-the-art Energy from Waste facility in Allington, Kent - turning waste into energy and playing a vital role in the UK's sustainability journey.
What's In It For You?
This isn't just a job. It's a long-term opportunity.

• Competitive salary

• Employee recognition & refer-a-friend scheme
• Flexible benefits package (including high street discounts, Cycle to Work, Gymflex, holiday purchase and more)
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme & Best Doctors Service

You bring the commitment. We'll provide the platform to build your future.
What You'll Be Doing
As a Support Technician, you'll be at the heart of plant operations - keeping everything running safely, efficiently and compliantly.
Your responsibilities will include:

• Operating plant systems including boilers, steam systems, turbines, waste handling, ash handling, conveyors and water treatment

You're technically capable. Safety-focused. Calm under pressure. And you take pride in doing the job properly.
You'll ideally have:

• A broad technical background in plant operations or maintenance
• Around 2 years' experience in large boilers, rotating plant, or similar process environments
• Experience with DCS/SCADA systems (advantageous)
• Strong understanding of safe systems of work and risk assessments

• Good computer literacy (Microsoft Office, CMMS systems etc.)
• The resilience and initiative to work independently
• Flexibility to work shifts and respond to operational demands

Most importantly: you're reliable, team-oriented and committed to high standards.
Why This Role Matters

This is your opportunity to be part of something bigger - while building a secure, progressive technical career.
