The posting

Company Description

Kronospan is the world’s leading manufacturer of wood-based panel products. Since 1897 we have invested in innovation to deliver on our promise of ‘Wood Perfected’, and today we employ around 15,000 people across more than 40 manufacturing sites worldwide. Our panels, decorative surfaces and engineered wood products are used every day in furniture, flooring, interiors and construction projects around the world.

As the world leader in the production of wood-based panel products, we are seeking an experienced industrial boiler specialist to take ownership of our site’s energy plant, keeping our large-scale boilers, thermal oil heaters and steam systems running safely, efficiently and reliably around the clock.

Job Description

Our production depends on a substantial energy plant: four thermal oil heater/boiler units (K4–K7), steam generators and exchangers from manufacturers including Babcock, Loos and Intec, turbines and multi-fuel firing systems. Reporting to the Chief Engineer, you will be the site’s technical lead for this plant, responsible for its control, maintenance, reliability and fuel supply.

Alongside running the plant day to day, you will lead capital projects, modifications and continuous improvement work, from direct project leadership to contributing mechanical expertise to multi-disciplinary projects and coordinating contract engineering resource.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Controlling and maintaining large industrial thermal oil heaters/boilers (K4–K7) and associated steam generators and heat exchangers.
  • Managing multi-fuel supply to the boilers, including gas, oil, sander dust (biomass) and solid fuel, as well as process, fire and boiler feed water.
  • Maintaining thermal oil systems, including pumps, valves and instrumentation, along with turbines, compressed air systems and the water treatment plant.
  • Overseeing inspection, testing, spare parts strategy and record keeping to keep the plant compliant and minimise unplanned downtime.
  • Managing contractors, specialist plant and resources during maintenance activities and shutdowns.
  • Leading a safety-first culture, ensuring safe systems of work are followed across all energy plant.
  • Maintaining high standards of fire protection, including supervising and auditing engineers on fire systems and hot work procedures.
  • Taking ownership of your designated zone under the Site Housekeeping Plan.

Qualifications

  • A technical qualification in an engineering discipline (mechanical, electrical or energy engineering preferred).
  • 5–7 years’ engineering experience, with significant hands-on experience of large industrial boilers, thermal oil heaters or steam plant.
  • Experience with solid fuel or biomass firing, multi-fuel systems or combustion plant is highly desirable.
  • Sound knowledge of boiler and pressure system statutory requirements, inspection regimes and site standards.
  • Strong understanding of Safe Systems of Work, Risk Assessment and Management of Change.
  • Experience maintaining systems for regulatory compliance and working with enforcement bodies and insurers.
  • Confident using Windows-based applications and plant data to drive reporting and improvements.
  • Able to plan, organise and lead teams and contractors, and to resolve plant issues quickly under pressure.

Additional Information

This is a chance to take ownership of one of the most critical areas of a large scale manufacturing site, working on substantial, varied energy plant with the backing of a global leader that invests in its people and technology.

If you’re an industrial boiler or energy plant engineer looking for your next challenge, we’d love to hear from you.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
