Working at Viridor

Viridor operates over 320 facilities across the UK.

Our purpose encompasses everything that we do. We're giving the world’s resources new life. Whether those resources are collected by our vehicles from a primary school in Kent or delivered into our Energy Recovery Facilities in Cardiff or Runcorn, we transform ‘waste’ into the items and energy that society will need tomorrow.

Gone is the traditional ‘waste’ collection and disposal company. To achieve our purpose we have established two distinct business units, Recycling and Resources and Energy. These business units help us to focus our time and expertise on the services that our customers want.

The priority for our SME customers may be a reliable local service at an affordable cost; our corporate customers may be seeking flexibility and added sustainability benefits and our local authority customers may need to find ways to continue to increase their recycling levels and divert waste away from landfill whilst also minimising their costs. Our energy division, meanwhile, will consistently focus on squeezing the last drop of value from non-recyclable ‘waste’ and continue to lead the UK’s resources industry in establishing next-generation technologies allowing us to generate high levels of green energy.

We use our strategic expertise combined with local knowledge and friendly service to offer all ‘waste’ producers an opportunity to join with us to help give the world’s resources new life.

Viridor is part of the FTSE 250 Pennon Group plc.

We are committed to creating and delivering value for our customers and stakeholders whilst making a positive contribution to the development of our employees and the environment.

Our people are our greatest resource.

We employ over three thousand highly trained people to operate, support and manage our services and the facilities that transform waste.

We provide apprenticeships, graduate recruitment and management training schemes to nurture skills. Our investment in the future of our colleagues equips them to lead our business forward in the future.

Above all, we actively promote a culture of health, safety and well-being, working towards our objective of zero accidents.

We're always on the look-out for new talent to join our ranks and invite you to use the information on these pages to discover how you can help us give the world’s resources new life.

This is an exciting time to work at Viridor.

We are at the forefront of the UK’s green economy, investing £1.5 billion in delivering essential and modern infrastructure to transform ‘waste’ into the highest quality recyclables and renewable energy.

With this strong growth, we are always looking for people who have a drive for innovation, and who are interested helping us achieve our purpose and help our customers. We want forward-thinking individuals to join our fast-paced and thriving workforce.

We employ a versatile work force and offer a number of benefits to our employees.

As well as our employment benefits we offer fantastic training opportunities for our employees who wish to progress within the company. Last year we provided colleagues across the business with 5353 training days. We have also developed an industry leading management degree programme in partnership with Edge Hill University to give our future leaders the skills necessary to reach their potential.
