A Unique OpportunityJoin 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.#garyeciYou have been sent this vacancy list by EC&I Partners.By clicking “accept”, we will call you to discuss your current circumstances and process your application.
