The Opportunity
Our client is looking to appoint a Control Room Shift Manager to join its state-of-the-art Operations Centre in the Sheffield area.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone with control room or process operations experience to join a global industry leader, where you’ll play a key role in the safe and efficient operation of large-scale production facilities within a 24/7 manufacturing environment.
Offering a highly competitive package of £50,000 basic salary plus a £12,000 shift allowance, this role also provides genuine long-term career prospects.

The Role
Working as part of a highly skilled operations team, you’ll be responsible for the safe, reliable and efficient remote operation of multiple production plants using advanced control systems and cutting-edge technology.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Monitoring and controlling plant performance across a 24-hour operation
- Responding to alarms, process disturbances and operational issues to maintain safe and efficient production
- Investigating faults using plant data and performance trends to identify root causes and implement improvements
- Managing plant start-ups and operational changes to ensure customer demand is met while optimising efficiency and controlling costs
- Carrying out performance reviews and recommending improvements to maximise plant reliability and productivity
- Ensuring the highest standards of process safety, compliance and operational excellence are maintained at all times.
About You
We’re looking for someone who enjoys solving technical problems, thrives in a fast-paced operational environment and is passionate about continuous improvement.
You’ll ideally have:
- An HNC (or above) in Electrical Engineering, Instrumentation, Chemical Engineering, Process Engineering or a similar discipline (or equivalent industry experience)
- Previous experience working within a control room or process operations environment
- Experience using industrial control systems such as SCADA, PCS7 Siemens or similar
- Strong analytical and fault-finding skills with the ability to make sound operational decisions under pressure
- A proactive, safety-first approach with excellent communication and teamwork skills
- Plant commissioning experience would be advantageous but is not essential
What’s on Offer?
- Up to £50,000 basic salary
- Competitive company pension – 15.6% in contributions
- 25 days annual leave plus additional flexible leave benefits
- Employee discounts and retail savings
- Ongoing technical training and professional development
- Genuine opportunities to progress into senior operational and leadership roles within the business
The position operates on a continuous 24/7 shift pattern, working a rotating mix of days and nights across a 6-week shift cycle, providing excellent team coverage and operational flexibility.
Why Apply?
This is an opportunity to join a market-leading organisation operating at the forefront of its industry. You’ll become part of a business that invests heavily in its people, technology and future leaders, offering genuine long-term career development rather than simply another shift-based position.
If you’re looking for a technically challenging role with outstanding training, excellent earning potential and clear progression into senior positions, we’d love to hear from you.
