How You’ll Make an Impact

• Assist the Shift Charge Engineer in managing the safe operation of plant systems, monitor performance via DCS/SCADA, conduct inspections, initiate corrective actions, and act as the Shift Charge Engineer in their absence.
• Support the preparation, review, and approval of PTW processes, verify isolations and lock-out/tag-out compliance, and coordinate with maintenance teams and contractors for safe and timely equipment servicing.
• Record operational data, incidents, and maintenance requests in the CMMS, ensure clear and complete shift logbook entries, and track work requests to support maintenance planning.
• Monitor and analyze operational indicators, address deviations, escalate issues, and resolve recurring problems to ensure activities meet quality standards and plant procedures.
• Promote safety culture by ensuring compliance with safety guidelines, participating in hazard identification and risk assessments, and maintaining adherence to environmental and regulatory standards.
• Collaborate with maintenance, engineering, and contractors to maintain operational readiness and ensure effective shift handovers for smooth continuity of operations.

What You Bring

• Diploma or bachelor’s degree in a technical field such as Mechanical, Electrical, Power Plant Engineering, or related disciplines, with at least 4 years of experience in large-scale power plant operations, preferably in combined cycle power plants.
• Strong knowledge of control room operations, PTW systems, isolation procedures, operational data analysis, and efficiency monitoring, with familiarity in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, high-pressure steam systems, and OEM operation protocols (Siemens Energy preferred).
• Proficient in navigating complex technical documentation and confident in using relevant IT applications (e.g., Microsoft Office), with knowledge of T3000 or CMMS systems being an advantage.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills in Arabic or Kurdish and English (additional languages are a plus).
• Ability to work effectively in shift environments under pressure, collaborate with diverse teams, and demonstrate a proactive problem-solving attitude with a willingness to take on additional responsibilities.
• Willing to work in Khormala and reside in Erbil, Iraq.
