- Ensure all operational activities are carried out in strict accordance with workplace health and safety legislation, environmental regulations, and site-specific policies.
- Participate in shift handovers, providing clear and accurate communication of plant status, ongoing issues, and any actions taken or required.
- Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives by identifying operational inefficiencies and recommending enhancements to plant performance and reliability.

## Required Qualifications & Skills

- Demonstrated experience operating power generation plant, including boilers, turbogenerators, and associated electrical and mechanical systems.
- Sound understanding of high-voltage and low-voltage electrical systems, including isolation and switching procedures and permit-to-work processes.
- Ability to read, interpret, and respond accurately to a wide range of plant instrumentation and control systems.
- Strong report-writing skills with the ability to maintain thorough and accurate operational records and logs.
- Solid working knowledge of workplace health and safety obligations relevant to power generation environments.
- Competency in carrying out routine operating tests and conducting equipment inspections.
- Ability to work effectively under pressure, make sound decisions during emergency situations, and prioritise competing tasks.
- Strong communication and teamwork skills, with the ability to liaise across operational, engineering, and management teams.
- Willingness and availability to work rotating shift patterns, including nights, weekends, and public holidays.

## Preferred Qualifications

- Trade qualification or certificate in Electrical, Mechanical, or a related engineering discipline.
- Certificate III or IV in ESI Generation – Operations or a comparable power industry qualification.
- High Voltage (HV) switching authorisation or equivalent certification.
- Experience operating within a large-scale thermal, gas, hydro, or co-generation power facility.
- Familiarity with SCADA systems or distributed control systems (DCS) used in power generation environments.
- First aid certification current to Australian standards.

## Why Join Us?

- Be part of a critical infrastructure sector that directly contributes to Australia's energy reliability and the communities it powers.
- Access ongoing professional development opportunities, including technical training, safety certifications, and career advancement pathways.
