How to contribute to our vision

This role is a replacement to ensure business continuity within the Operations & Maintenance team at the Sorek power plant in Israel. As a Specialist Para-Professional, this position is essential for maintaining the operational reliability and safety of the plant's mechanical systems. To support this objective, the role is structured around three core areas: hands-on corrective and preventive maintenance of key mechanical equipment, operational support and system integrity analysis, and leadership in safety, compliance, and team guidance. This approach ensures both immediate issue resolution and long-term asset performance. Given the focus on advanced technical work and operational leadership, the ideal candidate will have extensive experience with power plant mechanical systems, particularly rotating equipment. A relevant technical education and the proven ability to work with limited supervision while mentoring junior staff are critical requirements for this position.
