Landfill Construction Labourers

LGI is a specialist business in landfill gas management and renewable energy generation. Our core business is to extract the biogas that’s produced in landfills, and treat it in flaring units (to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions) or gas engines (to produce renewable electricity).

We manufacture much of the equipment we use to treat the biogas, including flaring units. We own and operate construction equipment to drill wells and install pipework in landfills. We build, own and operate renewable energy facilities on landfills. We currently operate, maintain, monitor, repair, and expand landfill gas systems across 25 landfill sites in QLD, NSW and the ACT. Our team of 40+ includes skilled trades, specialist engineers, machine operators, early career technicians, and more. 

Established in 2009, LGI is a 100% Australian based and operated leader in carbon abatement that’s committed to a clean energy and zero-carbon future. 

We’re looking for people who work well as part of a team, want to learn and grow professionally, and like a challenge. We need people to help install and repair landfill gas extraction systems. We want someone who works safely - most of our work happens in and around landfills, and safety is the priority.

These are hands-on roles across our landfill gas projects, helping with all aspects of the work, including operating our installation equipment (trucks, excavator, skid steer loader, drill rig). There is regular travel through QLD, NSW, and the ACT. We prefer it if you're based in Brisbane.

You might help build new power generation and flaring projects, and upgrade existing projects. We have a lot of projects and we operate in a complex space, so plans and priorities can change quickly - our people have to be flexible and adaptable.

We’re a growing business with exciting opportunities.

We are looking for someone with the following skills and qualifications:

• Experience and qualifications in machine operation (for example: trucks, excavator, and/or skid steer loader)
• Installation of Poly Pipelines
• Laser Levels
• Drill rig experience and competency would be an advantage
• Construction experience
• Butt welding or electro-fusion welding tickets would be an advantage
• Experience working in a landfill environment would be an advantage
• Excellent communication skills
• Team player
• Excellent safety record and awareness
• Must have Drivers Licence

If you have the right basic skills, and an excellent work ethic and attitude, we will invest in your training and add to your qualifications. 

We look after our people: we offer opportunities for professional development (i.e. training and mentoring), we support work-life balance and well-being, and we like to have fun.

We genuinely care about the work we do, about making a difference, and ‘saving the world, one landfill at a time’!

We value diversity (check out our stats on gender diversity), professionalism, aptitude, and intelligence. 

We pay above the applicable Award rate, and reward performance in various ways, including promotion, pay, benefits, and bonuses.
