- Team leadership skills, with good surveillance, analysis and vigilance abilities.
- Good knowledge of operational procedures.
- Full working knowledge of the relevant units and their protection systems.
- Completed health, safety and environment (HSE) training.
About the Role
A general operator usually monitors plant equipment, checks readings and follows the instructions of the shift team to keep operations safe and steady. In this position, you will need to be ready to work different shift patterns and to stay alert for long periods, because the work affects the wider plant.
The advert emphasises that this role requires strong attention to safety, clear teamwork and a solid understanding of how plant systems work together. Candidates who meet the experience, training and language requirements listed above are the focus of this vacancy.
