Your end goal is a central engineering role within our business, with the flexibility to choose your future specialism
What we’re looking for
We’re seeking graduates with degrees in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Control and Instrumentation, Process or Chemical Engineering. You will be based at one of our plants in Leeds or the Midlands but must be prepared to experience our whole organisation across the country.
You must be genuinely excited about shaping a more sustainable future through engineering innovation and see challenges not as obstacles, but as opportunities to make a real difference.
You’ll thrive here if you’re eager to step beyond theory and immerse yourself in a hands-on, real-world engineering environment, where ideas are tested, refined, and brought to life. Curiosity and initiative are key: we value individuals who take a proactive, problem-solving approach and are keen to contribute from day one
This is a place for those who are motivated to learn, take ownership of their work, and grow quickly within a supportive but demanding setting. Above all, you’ll need a strong commitment to safety and an appreciation for teamwork.
Apply by sending your cv and a covering letter, letting us know what makes you suitable for this opportunity
Why join enfinium?
We’re not just offering a graduate role—we’re offering a career with real impact.
When waste cannot be reduced, reused or recycled, energy from waste provides the most sustainable solution.
The UK currently recycles 45% of its waste, with over 40% of the unrecyclable waste still being sent to landfill. The UK Government’s legally binding target is to reach just over 15 million tonnes of unrecyclable waste per year by 2042 – a 50% reduction on today’s volumes.
That’s where energy from waste comes in. Our facilities efficiently convert waste into power for the National Grid, playing a valuable part of the UK’s circular economy and waste management solutions. A better alternative for everyone
