You will perform daily checks to ensure equipment is running properly by monitoring and troubleshooting the equipment that will include boilers, air heaters, process reactors, cleaning systems, conveyors, dryers, pelletizers, pumps and other processing equipment. You will work closely with Sustane's maintenance team to ensure efficient and timely equipment diagnosis and response to breakdowns.

You will work with the engineering team to improve performance and look for ways to continuously improve the processes.

Sustane will offer a starting wage of $26.52 per hour with the opportunity of progression to $32.00 per hour or more.

As the ideal candidate, you will have a 3rd or 4th class power engineering/stationary trade certification. A proven record of performance in a process operating role may be considered as an asset. You have strong knowledge of health and safety regulations and workplace safety programs. Excellent mobility is required.
