The Roles

With such a variety of power stations in our portfolio, the areas of work within this side of the business are just as diverse. From Civil Engineers to Riggers, there's something to suit every engineering and technical professional within these teams.

Here are some examples of the kinds of opportunities we offer:

C&I Engineer

Controlling both our budget and contracts, you'll provide engineering guidance and manage the risks associated with C&I plant and equipment. Managing major overhaul work, recommending and delivering schemes for improvements as appropriate, you'll also ensure compliance with safety legislation and directives.

Training Officer

Responsible for delivering the Stations' training and development strategy, you'll also manage the on site training team of co-ordinators. Acting as the point of contact for all issues relating to employee development, this will involve resourcing and organising courses and workshops; assisting with the co-ordination and employment of graduates and apprentices; and reviewing and evaluating learning activities.

You'll also assist with new project developments, specifying and assessing new plant and equipment related to process feed water and condensate and cooling systems.

Civil Engineer

Working with a team of civil engineering specialists, you'll provide engineering leadership and expertise in the management of assets on all our power stations. Staying up-to-date with developments in your field, you'll use your technical expertise to work effectively with contractors and consultants to develop and implement robust and cost-effective solutions and advise on the planning of new projects.

Maintenance Support

In this exceptionally varied position, you'll drive and operate mobile plant, assist maintenance colleagues in workshops and other areas, diagnose faults and organise spares and equipment. This will also involve working at height with our overhead cranes.

Lead Maintenance Engineer

Managing, organising and developing a maintenance team, you'll keep our power stations operating safely and efficiently.
