If you enjoy fault-finding, working with advanced control systems, and being the person who solves problems when it really matters — this role is for you.
What You’ll Be Doing (Your Day-to-Day)
You will be responsible for maintaining the “brains” of the plant — ensuring all instrumentation and control systems are accurate, reliable, and fully operational.
Your work will include:
Installing, calibrating, and maintaining instruments (temperature, pressure, level, flow)
Diagnosing and repairing faults on PLCs, sensors, valves, and control systems
Performing preventative maintenance to avoid costly breakdowns
Using test equipment (multimeters, loop calibrators, oscilloscopes) to troubleshoot issues
Inspecting plant equipment and responding to alarms and failures
Supporting plant operations during breakdowns and shutdowns
Interpreting technical drawings and specifications
Ensuring all work complies with safety, environmental, and industry standards
Communicating effectively with operators, engineers, and maintenance teams
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for someone who is:
- A qualified C&I Mechanician (Red Seal preferred)
- Holding a Diploma or equivalent in Control & Instrumentation
- With 3–5 years post-apprenticeship experience in a heavy industrial or power/processing plant
- Strong in fault-finding and problem-solving
- Comfortable working with PLCs and automated systems
- Hands-on, reliable, and able to work under pressure
- Willing to work shifts, overtime, and breakdown call-outs
- Safety-focused with a solid understanding of plant regulations
What Sets You Apart
- You don’t just fix problems — you find the root cause
- You’re confident working both in the field and on control systems
- You take ownership and can lead when required
- You communicate clearly and work well within a team
Why Join Us
Work in a large-scale, technologically advanced plant
- Be part of a highly skilled maintenance team
- Play a critical role in keeping operations running
- Opportunities to grow your technical and leadership skills
