ACWA NOMAC is hiring a CCR Operator to run power and water desalination units from the plant control room. If you have five years behind a control panel and stay calm when an alarm goes off, this role keeps essential power and water flowing steadily.
About the Role
You will monitor and control the operating parameters of power and water units, keeping them in steady state so production targets are met under ACWA NOMAC’s work instructions and quality and HSSE standards. From the control panel you will adjust operating conditions and flows, act quickly on abnormalities, stay in radio contact with field operators, update registers and logs, and hand over each shift clearly. You will also run first diagnostic checks, raise work requests, coordinate lock out and tag out under the Permit to Work system, and train junior colleagues.
Career Impact & Growth Opportunity
Power and water desalination are critical infrastructure across the Gulf. Experienced control room operators can progress to Senior CCR Operator, Shift Supervisor or Shift Engineer roles, and the position includes mentoring juniors and contributing to improvement projects.
Why This Role Matters
Cities depend on steady electricity and clean water. A sharp operator who reacts early to a change keeps the plant safe, stable and within environmental limits.
Key Responsibilities
- Operate the assigned unit from the control panel and correct abnormalities immediately
- Keep radio contact with field operators and hold operations within agreed parameters
- Update control room logs and carry out clear shift handovers
- Run first diagnostic checks and raise work requests for faulty equipment
- Coordinate lock out and tag out under the Permit to Work procedure
- Monitor environmental parameters and report any deviation
- Train junior team members and support improvement projects
Qualifications & Requirements
- Technical diploma in Engineering

- Strong knowledge of DCS, SCADA and PLC systems
- Knowledge of plant equipment, processes, and HSE and quality standards
- Downtime analysis and problem-solving skills, with attention to detail
- Mentoring, planning and teamwork skills
About This Opportunity
You will work closely with shift engineers, supervisors, field operators, chemists and technicians on modern plant systems. Check the official careers page for the current vacancy and terms.
Who Should Apply
This role suits experienced control room operators and senior panel operators from power or desalination plants who are methodical, safety-minded and comfortable guiding younger operators.
