Visy is powering the circular economy, closing the loop between packaging, remanufacturing and recycling. As Australia’s leading recycled and kraft paper manufacturer, Visy Pulp and Paper is a big part of our business. Our integrated recycling and manufacturing operations means we collect paper and cardboard from households and businesses and turn it into up to 100% recycled paper. We are also home to the world’s most environmentally friendly kraft paper mill in Tumut, providing high-quality kraft paper for domestic and international markets. The paper we produce supplies our board facilities across Australia and New Zealand, where it is remanufactured into cardboard packaging for the food and beverage industry.
Role details
The Co-Gen plant allows us to divert the rejected material from our paper machine away from landfill and use it to create both steam and electricity – hence the name cogeneration, as the plant is making two types of energy. The steam is used in the paper manufacturing process to dry the paper, while the electricity is used to run the paper-making machines.
Reporting to the Energy Manager and based at our Co-gen plant on Gibson Island, you will assist in facilitating a safe, reliable, and low-cost steam supply for the paper-making process. You will be responsible for coordinating maintenance and reliability tasks, conducting efficiency assessments, identifying opportunities for improvement, and implementing strategies to enhance the operational effectiveness of our plant.

- Provide boiler, energy, fuel and steam system technical support to the site, including participating in the 24/7 on call roster.
- Participate in regular maintenance activities and troubleshoot issues to ensure continuous plant operation.
- Identify reliability improvement, energy efficiency and cost control projects for implementation and other continuous improvement initiatives to reduce cost and use of fuel, energy and steam.
- Adhere to safe working and environmental procedures in accordance with the policies and procedures at all times.
What you will bring
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical/Chemical/ Process Engineering, or a related field.
- You are a great communicator, enabling you to form strong relationships with stakeholders on all levels.
