FEP Shift Process Technician

ExxonMobil has operated in the U.K. for more than 135 years. We are best known today for the marketing of our Esso fuels and Mobil 1 lubricants and for our petrochemicals. We have refining and chemical operations in the UK, we operate the UK’s biggest private pipeline network and we retain a non-operated share in a number of fields in the North Sea. More recently, we are developing our involvement in lower emission projects in the UK, building on our experience in carbon capture and storage (CCS), hydrogen production and biofuels.

An ExxonMobil career is one designed to last. Our commitment to you runs deep: our employees grow personally and professionally, with benefits built on our core categories of health, security, finance, and life. Working as part of a small shift team, Process Technicians are responsible for the safe and efficient operation of their work area. Their focus is on safety, health and the environment, ensuring reliability and operational integrity, while always seeking new ways to improve equipment and systems’ performance.

Please note benefits may be changed from time to time without notice, subject to applicable law.

The application window will close at 23:59 on 25th June 2023 as a start date of October 2023 is the target.

The job details specify the closing date; however, we do reserve the right to close adverts early, for example, where we have subsequently had internal redeployees, or we have received sufficient volume of applications. Adverts will therefore close, either on the advertised closing date, or the day the decision has been taken to close the advert early.

What role you will play in our team

We are currently seeking talented, experienced Process Technicians to join our team at the Company's Fife Ethylene Plant (FEP).

One of Europe’s largest and most modern ethylene plants, FEP provides work for around 170 employees and 80 core contractors and has capacity to produce 830,000 tonnes of ethylene each year.

If you have a ‘can do’ attitude, a second-to-none work ethic, and you have relevant experience within the petrochemical, oil, gas, utilities, or other heavy process industries, we would like to hear from you!

What you will do

• 
  Operating plant equipment including running the plant safely, efficiently and economically
• Monitoring the operation and diagnosing faults, carrying out planned and unplanned start-ups and shutdowns of plant
• Monitoring and operating the plant from the Central Control Room
• Responding to incidents, hazardous conditions, or emergencies
• Routine care of the operating equipment to maximise equipment reliability and minimising plant outages
• Safely preparing plant equipment for maintenance activities
• Working within the shift to ensure delivery of individual and team responsibilities and objectives
• Providing input and support to margin improvement and cost reduction initiatives
• Monitoring and adjusting the operation during shift is a key part of the job; in part this is done in the control room, but the Technician is also required to access all parts of the plant to make any necessary physical adjustments.
  

About you

• Driven, motivated and committed to ownership and completing tasks
• The ability to communicate well verbally and via IT-based systems
