Join the UK's leading anaerobic digestion operator as a Plant Operator

Take the next step in your engineering career as a key member of our site leadership team. Supporting the Site or General Manager, you'll play a vital role in the safe, compliant and cost-effective operation of a high-performing AD facility, helping to maximise renewable energy generation while maintaining exceptional environmental and safety standards.

While professional experience and qualifications are key for this role, make sure to check you have the preferable soft skills before applying if required.

This is a hands-on, dynamic role where no two days are the same. You'll take ownership of plant performance, working with advanced systems such as SCADA and CCTV to monitor operations, respond to issues, and optimise output. From maintaining the health of digesters to driving continuous improvement initiatives, you'll be central to ensuring the site consistently meets and exceeds KPI and budget targets. You'll contribute to planned preventative maintenance, manage contractors and resources, and ensure the site remains a benchmark for operational excellence and housekeeping.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
