Shift Technician

Our Vision is to be the UK’s leading innovator of resource recovery and recycling, transforming waste for a climate-positive future.

Are you someone who lives and breathes high performance, leads with ambition, and would like to be part of an organisation that looks after tomorrow? Viridor has a redefined purpose, a bold Vision, and an ambitious, market-leading strategy. We are investing in the future, and we need a talented team with exceptional people, who believe in each other, to help us achieve this.

Join us, as we rise to the challenge and build a world where nothing goes to waste.

Viridor is at the forefront of waste management and resource recovery in the UK, operating the largest network of Energy Recovery Facilities (ERFs). We play a crucial role in supporting the UK's climate goals by diverting waste from landfills and transforming it into valuable energy resources.

We have an opportunity in Dunbar for a Shift Technician to join our team working 40 hours per week, on a 5 week shift pattern, to include nights.

The salary for this role will be £50,465 per year, inclusive of shift allowance, and participation in an annual bonus scheme, in addition to our great range of benefits.

The closing date for applications is 31st July 2026. We encourage all applicants to apply as soon as possible as we may close vacancies early if we receive a high number of applications.

About the role

The Shift Technician is responsible for the safe and efficient operation of the plant from within a central control room and out in the field, on a 24-hour shift rotation. Working as part of a team, your duties will include plant and equipment process changes to optimise process performance, as well as process and equipment fault diagnosis and rectification along with system isolations.

You’ll take responsibility for DCS operation and alarm handling, as well as the operation of the ERF and boiler chemistry. When updating the shift log, the Shift Technician will include plant and process changes, and ensure a diligent shift handover takes place so the following shift is well-informed. Continuous and routine monitoring of the plant must also be undertaken to minimise environmental impacts.

A key element of this role is continuous personal development in order to unlock your career potential, along with a flexible approach to ensure vital work is achieved timely and accurately.

What are we looking for?

An understanding of safe systems of work, i.e. plant isolations.

The ability to think logically and solve problems in an efficient way.

A Safety qualification, preferably IOSH or NEBOSH.

Mechanical, electrical or process plant experience.

The ability to attain the level of an Authorised Person is also desirable.

We are a Great Place to Work

There has never been a more exciting time to join Viridor. Following the acquisition of the business by the global private equity firm, KKR, the core business has been reshaped to focus on our leading UK Energy from Waste portfolio.

We invest in our people to reward them for their hard work, and we have a host of company benefits available to you when you join - take a look at our Rewards and Benefits
