About ICL Teesdock
Join ICL at Teesdock, a key operation within a global leader in minerals and speciality chemicals, where you’ll play a vital role in supporting large-scale industrial and port-based activities. This site combines complex bulk handling, ship loading operations, and automated plant systems in a dynamic, safety-critical environment. As part of a close-knit and highly skilled engineering team, you’ll have the opportunity to work on varied, technically challenging equipment while contributing to the safe and efficient movement of materials that support industries worldwide.
About the Role
Join a high-performing engineering team supporting complex, heavy industrial operations at Teesdock.
You will work on large-scale automated systems, PLC-controlled equipment, and bulk handling machinery within a fast-paced port environment.
This is an opportunity to play a key role in maintaining and improving critical plant performance, ensuring safe and efficient operations across the site.
This role operates on a 4 on, 4 off rotating shift pattern, consisting of 2 day shifts followed by 2 night shifts and 4 days off.
What You’ll Be Doing
Carry out detailed statutory inspections and produce compliant reports in line with current legislation, site standards and engineering best practice, ensuring all electrical and control systems meet regulatory requirements. Responsibility for conducting, verifying and documenting complex electrical isolations within a permit-to-work system. Inspect, fault-find, maintain and repair a wide range of heavy industrial equipment including ship loading systems, handling equipment, conveyor networks and associated switchgear.
Utilise tools such as root cause analysis (RCA) and mean time between failure (MTBF) to investigate recurring faults, implement long-term solutions and improve plant reliability. Plan and prioritise maintenance activities based on shift reports, plant condition and operational requirements, ensuring work is executed efficiently and safely.
Work closely with operations and engineering teams to minimise downtime, providing clear, timely feedback on equipment condition, emerging issues and completed work. Respond independently to breakdowns and plant issues under pressure. Identify opportunities for continuous improvement in equipment performance, safety and working practices. Manage parts, consumables and tooling responsibly, ensuring efficient use of resources.
