What jobs does Urbaser offer?

- Urban services: operational roles involving collection, cleaning and maintenance of municipal services when vacancies are advertised.
- Waste treatment: technical, maintenance and plant management staff.
- Engineering: roles and projects involving facilities and industrial processes.
- Logistics and driving: roles depend on the vehicle or service and may require specific driving licences.

Requirements for working at Urbaser
Specific requirements depend on the role and should be checked in its description. Before applying, consider the following:
- Availability to work at the locations and times specified in each vacancy.
- Driving licences or qualifications if the role involves vehicles or machinery.
- Knowledge of workplace safety and risk prevention appropriate to the working environment.
- Technical training for maintenance, engineering or plant management where required.
- An interest in teamwork, processes and service quality.

Can you work at Urbaser with no experience?
Urbaser also offers a graduate programme and some positions that may suit junior candidates. This does not mean that roles such as plant manager, operations manager or senior engineer are suitable for people with no experience. Each vacancy has its own level and requirements.
If you are just starting out, you can highlight internships, projects, volunteering and skills gained during your studies. It is better to provide specific examples than to fill your CV with generic phrases.
Working at Urbaser in cleaning and urban services
Urban services involve a wide range of operational tasks, from maintenance and collection to contract coordination. Not every vacancy at Urbaser is for a cleaning operative. For each municipality and service, check the duties, shifts, driving requirements and specific needs.
Jobs at waste treatment plants
Urbaser's careers website advertises opportunities at treatment plants, in industrial maintenance and in facilities management. Depending on the role, these jobs may require knowledge of processes, risk prevention, control, electromechanics or engineering. Describe your specific experience with equipment and facilities in your CV.
Graduate programme and junior opportunities
Urbaser offers a programme for recent graduates, with roles that may involve geographical mobility. If you are interested, check the required qualifications, availability and programme conditions; highlight academic projects and internships related to the environment, operations or technology.
How to filter vacancies by location and department
The official search tool lets you filter by department, location and remote working arrangement. This is especially useful at a company with multiple contracts and facilities. Always check the precise location, employer and type of site before applying.
Salary and working conditions at Urbaser
Pay depends on the contract, province, collective agreement, role and working hours. It would not be accurate to quote a single salary for operatives, drivers, maintenance staff and plant managers. Check any shift allowances, availability requirements and conditions published for the vacancy.
Before accepting a role, consider the working hours, schedule, gross salary, additional payments, contract type, location and responsibilities together. If the job advert does not state a salary, ask for details at the appropriate stage of the process.
Tips for preparing your application
A concise, clear CV tailored to the vacancy is more useful than sending the same version to companies and for roles that are very different. We recommend that you:
- Identify whether you are looking for a role in urban services, treatment, engineering or central services.
- For driving roles, state your actual licences and relevant experience.
- For plant or maintenance roles, describe the equipment, safety procedures, repairs or processes you know.
- Confirm the location and shifts, especially when the vacancy involves travel.
- Always use the official careers website and avoid vacancies that do not identify the company or conditions.
If the process allows you to include an additional explanation with your CV, you can use our guide to writing a cover letter.
