About the Role
Are you excited about sustainable energy and helping turn waste into renewable power? Join us as a Shift Operations Technician at the Cornwall Energy Recovery Centre and play a key part in generating clean energy while protecting the environment.

At SUEZ, we act for what truly matters — for the environment, for society, and for the future. This is the place for people who want to make a real impact, not just watch from the sidelines. Join us and help drive positive change through innovative solutions that build a more resilient and sustainable world.

Working 12-hour shifts, you will help keep our plant running safely and efficiently by:
- Monitoring, controlling, and optimising plant processes using the Distributed Control System (DCS), quickly identifying and resolving issues to maintain performance
- Operating and maintaining water tube boilers, including water analysis, chemistry monitoring, and ensuring optimal operation
- Performing system isolations safely when required to protect people, plant, and the environment
- Ensuring full compliance with health & safety, environmental legislation, and all operational protocols during normal running, start-ups, shutdowns, and emergencies
- Carrying out regular checks, fault diagnosis, and supporting safe, reliable energy generation from waste

At SUEZ, your career is a journey full of possibilities. With diverse roles across multiple activities and locations, we empower you to shape your own path. You’re encouraged to learn, grow, and take ownership of your development — because when you thrive, we all succeed.

Requirements

Experience
- Experience in energy recovery, power plants, waste-to-energy, or similar industrial processes is essential
- Knowledge of boilers, combustion, process control, and relevant health & safety and environmental legislation
- DCS system operation experience is desired but not essential; training will be provided where needed

About you
- Enthusiastic about sustainable operations and motivated to contribute to environmental solutions
- Committed to working safely and efficiently in a shift-based environment
- Willingness to learn and develop new skills in a supportive setting
