Shift Team Leader – Energy & Process Operations

Altera Recruitment Group is supporting a leading operator within the energy and sector in appointing a Shift Team Leader. The role of a Shift Team Leader oversees the safe, consistent, and efficient running of a modern facility, ensuring operational integrity across plant systems and leading a skilled shift team.

Key Responsibilities of a Shift Team Leader:

  * 

    Oversee day-to-day facility operations, utilising control-room systems to manage turbines, boilers, pumps, and associated plant equipment.

  * 

    Ensure all operational activities are executed within safety, environmental, and quality standards, maintaining compliance with strict regulatory requirements.

  * 

    Conduct routine inspections, walkdowns, and performance checks to identify equipment status, efficiency, and potential issues.

  * 

    Lead, support, and develop shift personnel, providing guidance, technical oversight, and maintaining strong communication across the team.

  * 

    Maintain accurate operational records, support minor on-shift maintenance coordination, and contribute to continuous improvement of procedures and processes.

Candidate Requirements

  * 

    A technical qualification (e.g., HNC/NVQ) in engineering or equivalent industry experience within power generation, steam production, or similar process environments.

  * 

    Strong competence in DCS, HMI, SCADA, or equivalent plant control systems, supported by hands-on operational knowledge.

  * 

    Proven ability to work within both control-room and shop-floor settings, demonstrating sound judgement and a structured approach to problem-solving.

  * 

    Effective communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the flexibility required to operate within a 24/7 shift rotation.

  * 

    Familiarity with Health & Safety standards; additional training or certifications (e.g., IOSH, NEBOSH, BOAS) are beneficial but not essential.

What’s on Offer

  * 

    Competitive annual salary circa £59,000, reflective of experience and shift responsibilities.

  * 

    A permanent, full-time role within a well-established, high-performing operational facility.

  * 

    Opportunities for professional development, including further training in safety, compliance, and plant operations.

  * 

    Supportive team culture with a strong focus on mentoring, development, and operational excellence.

  * 

    Long-term career prospects within a secure and growing industry, offering stability and future progression routes.
