We have an opportunity at our Grimsby LYOCELL Fibre continuous operation factory for a Shift Process Technician

We are now seeking to recruit a Shift Process Technician at our Grimsby Lyocell Fibre continuous operation factory. Working in a team, your key task is to safely operate a continuous process plant, maximising first quality fibre output, minimising waste, following written procedures to specified quality standards whilst working unsupervised. You must be able to demonstrate the highest standards with respect to safety, health & environment (SHE) and have the ability to contribute to on-going continuous improvement of both process and product ensuring the reporting of any incidents, safety or environmental, to minimise risk of recurrence

The successful candidate will have experience within a similar role, working with computer based SCADA/process control systems using control screens, historical trends and alarm logs to maintain stable operation and diagnose faults. You will have knowledge of maintaining quality standards and be able to take necessary corrective action to address out of specification results. Working within a team, you will react to, and rectify, plant breakdown or mal-operation and eventually be able to train others in areas of expertise.

You will be a self-motivated team player, with a safe and responsible approach to work who will be actively involved in developing the safety culture. You must demonstrate that you can bring the right skills and personal qualities to our Grimsby team, showing flexibility and willingness to adopt new practices and contribute in an effective and productive way. Good numeracy and IT skills are essential and experience in a similar continuous manufacturing plant would be advantageous.

The shift pattern for this role consists of 2 days, 2 nights, 4-off and provides five 17 day breaks a year. You will be required to be available for reasonable levels of overtime and call outs in order to support plant operations.
