Description:

If you have well developed project management skills and experience in a Project Engineer role working in a resin manufacturing facility you could be just the person we are looking for to manage all engineering aspects of our resin production facility at our top tier COMAH site in Felling. 

This is a hands on role and as Polymer Plant Engineer you will be responsible for managing the day to day planned and preventative maintenance of this facility, working very closely with the Production Manager. Capital investment is an essential element of this role and you will be responsible for identifying and implementing improvement projects within and associated with this facility. The role includes preparing and costing project plans for approval as well as managing the delivery of agreed projects to deadline and budget. Working on multiple projects you will develop full engineering specifications and support the tender process. You will also monitor and produce project progress reports and ensure we meet objectives without any negative impacts on health, safety and the environment, utilising our change management procedures. In addition you will identify training needs and prepare training documentation for operating personnel. Important will be the ability to make sure work complies with statutory, regulatory and company standards. 

As an engineering graduate, ideally in Chemical Engineering or similar e.g. Mechanical Engineering you will have experience in a similar role. Comfortable dealing with contractors you will be good at prioritising, a strong communicator and work well as part of a team. AutoCAD skills and IOSH or NEBOSH qualifications would be an advantage.
