Location: West Midlands
Working Pattern: Shift-based, on-site
Employment Type: Permanent
An industrial energy project at the forefront of the UK’s hydrogen transition is seeking a Plant Operator to support live operations at a first-of-a-kind green hydrogen production site.
This is a hands-on role in a safety-critical, regulated environment, ideal for operators who enjoy being close to the plant, systems, and processes rather than desk-based work.
You will be part of a small operational team responsible for the safe, reliable running of hydrogen production equipment during ramp-up and steady-state operations.
What You Will Be Doing
• Operating a green hydrogen production facility on a shift basis
• Monitoring plant performance via SCADA and control systems
• Executing start-up, shutdown, and normal operating procedures
• Performing first-line fault finding and responding to alarms
• Supporting planned and reactive maintenance activities
• Working closely with engineers, contractors, and site leadership
• Following permit-to-work, isolation, and safety procedures at all times
• Maintaining accurate operational logs and shift handovers
What We Are Looking For
• Experience as a plant operator, process operator, or operations technician
• Background in industrial environments such as chemicals, energy, utilities, EfW, oil & gas, or manufacturing
• Comfortable working in safety-critical or hazardous process environments
• Familiarity with control rooms, SCADA, and operating procedures
• Strong safety mindset and disciplined approach to compliance
• Willingness to work shifts, including nights or weekends if required
Why this role
• Exposure to a first-of-a-kind green hydrogen facility
• Long-term role within a growing energy transition project
• High responsibility, visible impact, and strong technical learning curve
• Opportunity to build early hydrogen operations experience
Hydrogen experience is not required. Candidates from adjacent process industries are strongly encouraged to apply.
