Biomass plant operators run and maintain biomass power plants. They will carry out a variety of tasks to ensure the smooth running of the plant, including fuel management, repairs, troubleshooting, safety compliance and reporting. As operations need to continue 24/7, staff will often work on a shift basis, meaning that prospective candidates may need to be flexible to working early mornings and late nights.
The sustainable and renewable energy industry is growing and this has increased the demand for biomass professionals. As a result, energy, engineering and technical recruitment specialists are commonly sought after to serve this exciting job market.
