  • Investigate incidents, near misses and operational deviations, ensuring effective root-cause analysis and follow-up.
  • Maintain compliance with environmental, health and safety, quality and regulatory requirements.

About you

You will have substantial experience in plant operations, ideally within a heavy industrial, manufacturing, energy, chemical or related environment. Experience in a supervisory or superintendent-level position is essential, together with a strong understanding of process operations, maintenance coordination and operational risk management.

Applicants should demonstrate confident leadership, sound commercial awareness and the ability to make effective decisions in a fast-paced operational setting. Strong communication and influencing skills are required, along with a proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement. Relevant technical qualifications, operational training or equivalent practical experience will be advantageous.
