Job Description

Landfill Gas Engineer

Bristol

£-Attractive salary plus company vehicle and benefits package

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.

Are you an experienced Landfill Gas Engineer looking for a role with real autonomy, variety, and the opportunity to work across multiple dynamic sites?

We are seeking a skilled, qualified Landfill Gas Engineer to join the company’s Bristol operations, supporting sites across the South West and wider UK portfolio. This is a hands-on engineering role with significant regional travel, including regular trips to Swansea and occasional requirements to support the company’s Kent operations.

Key Responsibilities:

  * Ensure legislative and environmental compliance across multiple landfill and renewable energy sites.

  * Carry out daily operational monitoring, diagnostics, maintenance and repairs on gas engines, gas fields, and associated plant.

  * Respond to breakdowns and complete planned maintenance to minimise downtime.

  * 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.

  * Understand environmental legislation and operational compliance requirements.

  * Self-motivated, organised, and able to work independently across multiple remote sites.

  * Confident with fault-finding and problem-solving in the field.

  * Intermediate competence with Microsoft Office.

  * Hold a mechanical or electrical engineering qualification.

  * Comfortable with frequent travel and managing work across multiple locations.

This is a full-time, permanent opportunity.
