System Technicians look after maintenance of process control and instrumentation systems to ensure we keep our workplace safe and the lights on for Contact customers.

Focused on Electrical and Instrumentation with automation working on PLCs and some HV, this is a trade role, but more specialised than you might be used to. Part of a supportive team of 13, you’ll report to our Maintenance Supervisor and get stuck into everything from plant electrical, control and instrumentation devices and machine protection systems to plant alarm, indication systems and statistical metering equipment along with HV testing, calibration of field instrumentation, control valves and electrical equipment, and maintenance of critical control systems like AVR and Governor.

With 35 people in total at Stratford, this is a small team with lots on the go, making for some awesome learning opportunities. It’s a given that you’ll bring a certain level of expertise to be able to help us from day dot, but we’ll help you, too. You’ll be buddied up with some of the best to learn from and over time gain exposure to a range of mahi and technical challenges that mean you grow as you go.
