Process Operator

Overview

Where Talent Meets Opportunity As a Process Operator (Boiler Operator) at Wilmar Sugar and Renewables, you'll be responsible for operating the super-heated boilers, turbine generators, ash handling systems and bagasse system. This position is based at Kalamia Mill in North Queensland's Burdekin region, known for its landscapes, agricultural heritage, and community. During the crushing, this position operates on a continuous rotating shift roster, which may include weekends and occasional overtime. Once the crushing is complete and the Mill enters the maintenance period, the role switches to a day shift schedule with RDOs most Fridays.

This description preserves the original context while removing boilerplate and extraneous content.
