3rd and 4th Class Power Engineers

Join the future of circular plastics and advanced waste recovery

Sustane Technologies Inc. is a Canadian clean technology company pioneering circular plastics and advanced materials recovery. Our proprietary process transforms landfill-destined plastic and municipal solid waste into high-value recyclable plastics, chemical feedstocks, and low-carbon fuels, enabling true waste circularity at industrial scale. Where traditional waste systems downcycle or dispose, Sustane's breakthrough separation and conversion platform produces pure, market-ready outputs that were previously impossible to recover. The result: dramatically higher diversion rates, reduced reliance on landfills, and a scalable pathway to a circular economy for plastics and municipal waste.

Our first commercial facility in Chester, Nova Scotia is now operating at scale, processing up to 70,000 tonnes per year. We are growing our operations team and seeking 3rd and 4th Class Power Engineers to help run and optimize this next-generation circular materials plant.

The Role

As a Power Engineer at Sustane, you will take front-line responsibility for the continuous, safe, and efficient operation of a highly automated circular plastics and materials recovery facility. This is a dynamic role combining control room operations, field inspections, and close collaboration with maintenance and engineering teams to ensure stable, high-performance plant operations.

You will operate and monitor equipment including:

• Thermal processing reactors
• Air heaters and dryers
• Cleaning and separation systems
• Conveyors and material handling systems
• Pelletizers and plastics finishing systems
• Pumps and auxiliary plant equipment
• Automated process control systems

Key Responsibilities

• Oversee continuous plant operations and process control systems
• Monitor, log, and maintain operational records
• Identify process deviations and perform root-cause and corrective actions
• Troubleshoot operating equipment and support preventative maintenance

• Perform field inspections and daily equipment checks
• Maintain a high standard of housekeeping and operational discipline
• Operate forklifts or mobile equipment as required
• Adhere to all workplace safety policies, procedures, and regulations
• Other duties as assigned by the Chief Power Engineer

Acceptable color vision is required for control system monitoring. Ability to lift up to 40 lbs and work in areas requiring fall protection is necessary.

What We're Looking For

• 3rd or 4th Class Power Engineering / Stationary Engineer certification
• Experience in industrial process operations, energy, chemical, materials, or manufacturing facilities is an asset
• Strong understanding of health, safety, and environmental compliance
• Comfort working with automated and computerized control systems
• Excellent mobility and ability to work rotating shift schedules
• A proactive mindset for continuous improvement and problem solving

Compensation

Starting wage: $26.52/hour
