Job Description
As a Boiler Operator at Wilmar Sugar and Renewables, you'll play a key role in the safe and efficient operation of super-heated boilers, turbine generators, ash handling systems, milling train and bagasse system.
Picture yourself working in the stunning Whitsundays - where crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and a friendly community create the perfect setting. It's a unique chance to enjoy a relaxed lifestyle while building a rewarding career in paradise.
This is a permanent position in our sugar processing factory which requires working on a continuous shift roster during the crushing season (approximately June - December), including weekends and overtime and day work during the maintenance period (approximately Jan - May).
Your Role in Action
Smooth Operator: Operate and monitor boiler station to ensure sufficient levels of steam are driving the alternators which generate power for factory operations and external demands.
Ignite and Idle: Take charge of turbine and auxiliary equipment start-ups and shut-downs—keeping the plant's energy flow in check.
Bagasse Guardian: Manage the vital Bagasse system with precision ensuring smooth, efficient operations at all times.
Mill Master: Operate and monitor the milling train to extract cane juice efficiently, keeping the heart of the factory running at peak performance
Fix-It Force: Inspect, troubleshoot and handle boiler and auxiliary systems, reporting abnormalities.
Ready, Set, Competent: Willing and able to achieve relevant sugar milling module competencies.
Collaboration Crew: Assist with the professional development of boiler assistants.
Clear & Concise: Provide regular and accurate feedback to Mill management on station performance.
Stay Ahead of Safety: Actively contribute to work, health and safety standards, from risk assessments to job safety analyses and participation in site safety programs.
Your Winning Combination
Our ideal candidate must have a High Risk Work Licence for Turbine Operator (TO) and Advanced Boiler Operator (BA). Whilst applicants with High-Risk Work Licences (e.g. Working Safely at Heights and Confined Spaces) are desirable, we are prepared to provide training to those who show the right aptitude and fit.

At Wilmar, you'll be embraced as a valued member of our team, appreciated for your unique contributions. We offer competitive pay and benefits, including additional leave and superannuation entitlements and exclusive partner discounts. Our emphasis on safety and innovation creates a supportive work environment where you can thrive.
