Job Description

Are you the pilot who keeps the course when the alarms sound?
At Randstad professionals, we aren't looking for someone who simply monitors screens. We are looking for an operational strategist capable of managing the balance of a continuous process plant. If you have experience in critical industrial environments (Paper, Chemical, Energy, Oil & Gas) and are looking for a role where your diagnostic ability and composure make a real difference in production, this is your opportunity.

> Direct Impact: You will be the "Chemical Orchestra Conductor."
You don't just follow procedures; you manage critical variables in real-time (mass balance, energy, cooking temperatures) that define the day's success or failure.
• High Technology: You will operate state-of-the-art distributed control systems (DCS/SCADA), acting as the brain that interprets data to anticipate problems before they occur.
• Technical Leadership: You will be the reference point for the field team. Your assertive communication and clear decisions will guide the operators "on the ground" to ensure the safe maneuvering of the facilities.
• Real Development: You will start with a specific 6-month training period to master our technology. If you prove your value, you will have a real option to promote to middle management positions.

We are looking to "fish" in high-level technical waters.
You fit in with us if:
• Education: You possess a CFGS (Higher Level Technical Degree) or University Degree in Technical fields (Chemistry, Mechanics, Industrial) or Environmental fields.
• Key Experience: Valuable previous experience in continuous process environments (Paper mills, Refineries, Thermal/Combined Cycle plants, Chemical plants, or Water Treatment).
• "Hard" Skills: You understand basic thermodynamics, fluid chemistry, and are proficient in DCS systems (such as DeltaV, 800xA, etc.).
• Critical "Soft" Skills:
◦ Composure: You maintain calm and analytical capacity under extreme pressure.
◦ Ability for Abstraction: You are able to visualize what is happening inside a pipe by interpreting only data and graphs.
◦ Economic Vision: You understand that efficiency in the use of inputs directly impacts costs.
• Location: Residency in the area or availability to settle within a 40km radius of the plant.

*Stability: Permanent contract after completing the training period in a global company.
• Remuneration: Truly competitive salary, commensurate with the high responsibility of the position.
• Schedule: Shift work (5R - Fifth Shift), on an established full-time calendar (1,680 hours annually), allowing for clear planning of your time.
• Environment: An atmosphere where technical rigor, safety, and "low emotional reactivity" under pressure are valued.
