• Calibrating and overhauling equipment including pressure, flow, level, and temperature instruments
• Setting up and maintaining control valves and associated control equipment
• Diagnosing faults and supporting effective fault finding on station systems
• Following safe working practices and reporting safety, environmental, and plant issues promptly

We’re looking for a Control and Instrumentation Maintenance Technician who takes pride in safe, high-quality work and enjoys working as part of a team. You’ll bring a proactive mindset and strong technical capability. Are you experienced in…?

• Completion of a recognised Electrical or Control and Instrumentation apprenticeship, with a HNC being ideal but not essential
• Background of working in a regulated environment
• Calibrating, maintaining, and testing industrial instrumentation systems
• Fault finding within complex industrial or process plant environments
• Working with control systems, instrumentation, and plant equipment
• Applying health, safety, and environmental standards in a regulated environment

To be appointed to this role, you will need to meet the criteria for Security Vetting, which will, ordinarily, require you to have been a resident of the UK for at least three of the past five years.

The role will require you to safely undertake maintenance work, including climbing ladders, working at height, lifting and carrying equipment, and accessing plant and equipment in a range of working environments.
