ENCYCLIS, (formally known as Covanta Europe), is a leader in the energy from waste industry and we are looking for our next talented individual to join us on our continuous mission of achieving brilliant things!
We generate sustainable electricity for homes and businesses from non-recyclable waste. The ash from the process is also recycled to become building materials, and metals are recovered for re-use.
Our facilities are some of the most advanced in the world! They boast new, state of the art equipment and tools, ensuring safety is at the heart and its people are set up for success.
You will be joining a team of highly skilled, diverse individuals and a business that applauds their successes, loves idea sharing and values its people.
Encyclis is building a brand new Energy Recovery Facility in Walsall based in the Midlands. The new facility will be a sustainable alternative to landfill, using household, commercial and non-hazardous industrial residual waste, left after recycling and composting efforts, as a fuel to generate clean electricity. The facility, which is now in its construction phase and is expected to commence full commercial operations in 2027, will provide a vital outlet for the sustainable disposal of over 436,000 tonnes of residual waste per year and will generate 49 megawatts of low carbon energy – enough electricity to meet the needs of over 90,000 homes.
We encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early if we receive a high number of applications.
Reporting directly to the Day Supervisor, the Day Operator will carry out the day-to-day operational activities safely, efficiently and in line with Encyclis’ procedures, whilst ensuring the facility is operationally compliant with the environment permit. Day to day operations include, waste and ash handling facilities, deliveries and collections, weighbridge and waste crane operations. This role requires operating large mobile plant to include Loading Shovels, Road Sweeper, Telescopic Handler and Forklift vehicles.
This role requires a broad background in logistics, waste handling and traffic management activities.
Previous heavy mobile plant experience (Road Sweeper, Loading Shovel, Forklift, Telescopic Handler) is highly desirable but training will be provided on all mobile plant and attachments.
