Our Client:
Is the UK leader in Environmental Solutions. They offer services and expertise in waste, water and energy management helping to build a more sustainable future. As a global organisation, their work focuses on delivering simple but innovative solutions to preserving natural resources, reducing pollution and protecting our environment.
The Site:
As part of a 25-year waste management contract our client has constructed an Integrated Waste Management Facility in Southwark. The facility includes a Materials Recovery Facility and a Mechanical Biological Treatment facility, a public Reuse and Recycling Centre and an Education and Visitor Centre.
Materials Recovery Facility:
The MRF is one of the most advanced recycling facilities in Europe. All materials collected for recycling from homes across the borough are processed at this plant before being sent off to manufacturers to turn the recycled raw materials into new products.
Mechanical Biological Treatment:
The MBT plant processes waste not suitable for recycling. It uses a combination of mechanical and biological processes to sort the waste: the mechanical element comprises an automatic segregation system to separate some recyclable materials from the mixed waste, such as metals or glass.
The biological element seeks to remove moisture from the waste before breaking down the organic, biodegradable components by way of a composting-like process to create fuel for energy recovery.
The Role:
Our Client is looking for an individual that is looking to advance their career in the Waste Management sector and gain industry-leading experience in a thriving and supportive workplace. The Maintenance Engineer will deliver the plant’s maintenance strategy through preventative maintenance and continuous improvement.

1. Schedule the maintenance aspects of the plant, by reducing disruption to operations and maximising uptime and availability.
2. Carry out planned and reactive maintenance work in a heavy industrial environment.

4. Manage inventory and spare parts in line with approved systems.

6. Liaise with contractors and third parties to organise specialist maintenance works.
7. Implement risk assessments for maintenance activities.
8. Work with engineers and provide leadership to fitters’ mates and apprentices.
