**About the role**:
We are on the lookout for a skilled and experienced **Technical Leader - Steam & Recovery** to join our dedicated and high-performing Technical Team.

You will work closely with operations, maintenance, engineering, and supply chain teams to solve problems, deliver process improvements, and ensure these critical systems support the mill’s financial, environmental, and production goals.
