Description

Our client is one of the UK’s leading providers of waste management services. The company is also a significant generator of renewable energy, primarily based on the extraction of gas from 7 of their landfill sites. These sites currently produce approximately 150 GWh of electricity each year. You’ll play a key role in maintaining the gas and power infrastructure that makes this possible.

Undertake generator commissioning, exchange, and configuration activities.
Maintain and inspect mechanical, electrical, and LV electrical equipment.
Support gas field optimisation to ensure safe gas control and sustainable fuel quality.
Participate in the 24/7 on-call rota (currently 1 in 7 weekends).
Conduct environmental tasks such as air emissions monitoring and spill response.
Manage your own travel, workload, and operational costs effectively.
Collaborate with internal specialists to resolve complex engineering challenges.
 

Candidate Requirements:

Possess at least 2 years relevant experience in landfill gas, gas engines, CHP, power generation, utilities, or similar heavy-process environments.
