About the company
At Visy, we love solving problems and that’s something we do better working together. We’re looking for people who see what’s ahead and run towards it. Visy people are helping us to achieve our vision to become the global leader in sustainable packaging. Because together, we can create a better world.
About the role
The Co-Gen plant allows us to divert the rejected material from our paper machine away from landfill and use it to create both steam and electricity – hence the name cogeneration, as the plant is making two types of energy. The steam is used in the paper manufacturing process to dry the paper, while the electricity is used to run the paper-making machines.
Duties
Reporting to the Energy Manager, and based at our Co-gen plant in Coolaroo (VIC), you will assist with facilitating safe, reliable, low-cost steam supply for use in the paper making process. You will be responsible for co-ordinating maintenance and reliability tasks, conducting efficiency assessments, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing strategies to enhance our plant's operational effectiveness.
Key responsibilities will include, but not be limited to:
- Perform field audits/checks and work closely with operation staff to ensure Fuel, Steam and Energy systems are operating safely, reliability and efficiently.
- Ensure inventory levels are maintained and engage suppliers as deliveries / removals are needed.
- Provide boiler, energy, fuel and steam system technical support to the site, including participating in the 24/7 on call roster.
- Participate in regular maintenance activities and troubleshoot issues to ensure continuous plant operation.
- Identify reliability improvement, energy efficiency and cost control projects for implementation and other continuous improvement initiatives to reduce cost and use of fuel, energy and steam.
- Adhere to safe working and environmental procedures in accordance with the policies and procedures at all times.
What you will bring to the team
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, chemical, or process engineering, or a related field.
- You are a great communicator, enabling you to form strong relationships with stakeholders on all levels.
- Strong computer proficiency.
- You thrive in a fast-paced environment and can demonstrate your mechanical aptitude and ability to troubleshoot complex production issues under pressure.
When you join Visy, you’re joining a global leader dedicated to making serious progress in the sustainable packaging, recycling, re-manufacturing and logistics industries. We love solving the problems that make an impact and grow our business. If you think you can help us, you’ll fit right in!
