Turn food waste into green energy and help power a sustainable future!
At ReFood, we don’t just recycle food waste—we transform it into biogas, renewable electricity, heat, and ReGrow fertiliser that supports local farms. Our cutting-edge AD (Anaerobic Digestion) plants are at the heart of the circular economy, helping communities reduce landfill and protect the planet.
Now, we’re looking for a proactive and enthusiastic AD Site Operative to join our team in Widnes. If you’re hands-on, safety-conscious, and want to make a real difference in a growing green industry, we’d love to hear from you.

* Confidence handling raw materials (some heavy lifting required)
* Attention to detail and commitment to quality & safety standards (HACCP)
* Basic IT skills and willingness to complete relevant training

Most importantly, you’ll be reliable, hardworking, and ready to grow with us.
