Job description

Sustane Technologies is looking for 3rd and 4th Class Power Engineers to join its growing team in Chester.

This is an opportunity to use your Power Engineering skills in a modern, highly automated clean technology facility that is doing something very different from a traditional industrial operation. As a Power Engineer, you will play a front-line role in keeping the plant operating safely and efficiently around the clock.

The position combines control room and field operations, equipment monitoring, troubleshooting and working closely with maintenance and engineering teams. You will have the opportunity to work with a wide range of automated processing equipment while helping improve how the plant operates.

No two shifts will be exactly the same. Your day may include:

* Monitoring automated control systems from the control room and checking equipment in the field
* Performing daily operational checks and identifying equipment issues or process deviations
* Monitoring and troubleshooting equipment such as air heaters, process reactors, conveyors, dryers, pelletizers, pumps and cleaning systems
* Responding to equipment problems and working with the maintenance team to diagnose and resolve issues
* Issuing work and test permits for electrical and mechanical maintenance
* Locking out equipment when required to provide safe access for maintenance
* Maintaining accurate logbooks and operational records
* Performing or assisting with preventative and routine maintenance
* Operating forklifts or other mobile equipment when required
* Keeping work areas clean, organized and safe
* Identifying opportunities to improve plant performance and processes
* Working with the engineering team on continuous improvement
* Following all workplace health and safety policies and procedures

Sustane is looking for someone who is confident working in a continuous process operation and can stay focused when monitoring equipment and responding to problems.

The ideal candidate will have:

* **3rd or 4th Class Power Engineering/Stationary Engineer certification**
* Strong knowledge of workplace health and safety requirements
* Experience in process operations is an asset
* Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
* Good attention to detail and the ability to recognize changes in equipment or process performance
* The ability to work independently while also working closely with maintenance and engineering teams
* Good computer and control-system skills, or the ability to learn computerized control systems
* Good physical mobility, including the ability to perform field work and assist with maintenance activities
* The ability to work a rotating shift schedule in a continuous 24/7 operation

What Sustane Offers

* Starting wage of $26.52/hour
* Opportunity for wage progression to $32.00/hour or more
* Benefits package
* GRSP program
* Opportunity to develop experience in a highly automated clean technology facility
* Exposure to a wide range of industrial processing and control systems
* Opportunities to work alongside maintenance and engineering professionals
* The opportunity to contribute ideas and participate in continuous improvement
* A growing workplace where employees can build their skills and grow with the operation

Why Build Your Career at Sustane?

Sustane is working to change what happens to waste that would traditionally be sent to a landfill. Its Chester facility uses innovative technology to separate and recover materials from municipal solid waste and plastics, turning them into useful products.

For a Power Engineer, that means working in an environment that combines industrial operations, automation, technology and resource recovery.

As Sustane continues to expand toward 24/7 operations, there is an opportunity to grow with the company, develop new skills and take on greater responsibility. If you are looking for more than a traditional Power Engineering role and want to be part of a company developing a new approach to waste and resource recovery, this could be a great opportunity.
