Job Description

Landfill Environmental Technician - Field-based - North East Region

12-month FTC (Fixed-term Contract)

About us

Infinis is the UK's leading renewable energy generator of low-carbon power from captured methane. We convert methane gas from landfill sites and disused mines into electricity. Our sustainable energy expertise extends to solar farms and battery energy storage (BESS) technology.

This work helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions related to climate change and provides secure, efficient local power generation. Infinis is supporting the energy transition to net zero. We are committed to innovation, environmental responsibility, and safe and efficient local energy solutions.

If you're passionate about

engineering, sustainability, and power generation,

this is your opportunity to thrive in a forward-thinking company. With the demand for renewables set to rise, the energy industry is a great place to build your career.

About the Role

We extract methane gas from landfill sites in a controlled manner by applying suction through a network of installed pipelines and gas wells, thereby preventing its release into the atmosphere. You will perform routine operational and environmental compliance by monitoring the gas and leachate levels, adjusting the gas flow levels from wells and sample points, and entering all data and completing reports onto internal systems to help deliver budgeted volumes of CLM to the compound, where the gas will be converted into electricity, which we sell to the national grid. This will also involve performing preventive and corrective maintenance on compressors, pneumatic pumps, and other equipment to ensure they are functioning optimally.

Working in a collaborative, safety-first environment, you'll contribute to operational excellence and innovation. Ideally, you'll bring experience in power generation or industrial maintenance and demonstrate strong fault-finding skills and a proactive approach.
