Why Build Your Career at Sustane?
Sustane is working to change what happens to waste that would traditionally be sent to a landfill. Its Chester facility uses innovative technology to separate and recover materials from municipal solid waste and plastics, turning them into useful products.
For a Power Engineer, that means working in an environment that combines industrial operations, automation, technology and resource recovery.
As Sustane continues to expand toward 24/7 operations, there is an opportunity to grow with the company, develop new skills and take on greater responsibility. If you are looking for more than a traditional Power Engineering role and want to be part of a company developing a new approach to waste and resource recovery, this could be a great opportunity.
