About VIDA bioenergy

VIDA bioenergy is a leading biomethane developer and operator active in the UK and Netherlands. We have operational plants in Netherlands and UK, with further projects under development and in build.

Glentham is a 60GWh/year biomethane plant commissioned in early 2025, with an active project to expand to 260GWh/year. The plant also produces biogenic liquid CO2 and digestate fertiliser products.

Biomethane is a key technology in the transition to net zero. It is an established and proven low carbon technology with thousands of facilities globally, taking manures, agricultural & industrial wastes and by-products and using bacteria to convert this into biomethane and an organic fertiliser.

Job Summary
As a member of the Glentham Plant Operator team you will be responsible for the operations and basic maintenance of our biomethane plant in Lincolnshire. Reporting to the Lead Operator, you will have safety, operations and engineering responsibility for the day-to-day activities which you carry out. As we expand and construct more sites you may occasionally be required to provide operational cover to other sites (travel and expenses paid).

The successful candidate will also be capable of self-starting, using their initiative and being hands on.

Duties

  • Responsible for the operation and maintenance of VIDA bioenergy Glentham biomethane site
  • Safely run the site
  • Move feedstock and digestate using telehandlers

Working hours will be on a rota with a mixture of early and late shift, there are no night shifts currently. The rota will include an element of routine weekend working and call out which is compensated for, with time off in lieu of additional hours worked where necessary.

What we are looking for

  • Proactive approach to safety and compliance, ensuring that all activities are conducted with safety as the primary consideration
  • Enthusiastic, diligent and positive, can-do approach to work, with a natural tendency to overcome challenges.
  • Able to work independently, taking pride and ownership of the site

Experience using mobile plant and working in a production facility would be an advantage but training will be provided if required.

Experience in mechanical, electrical and/or instrumentation maintenance would be beneficial but not essential
