Renewable energy jobs at VIDA bioenergy

VIDA bioenergy operates the Tilburg facility in the Netherlands, designed to produce approximately 23 million cubic metres of biogas annually for renewable natural gas and organic fertiliser production (source: vidabioenergy.com). Its Bernheze plant, also in the Netherlands, began injecting biomethane into the Dutch gas grid on 28 April 2026 and is ramping up to an annual biomethane production of around 8 million cubic metres. Bernheze processes approximately 72,000 tonnes of agricultural feedstock yearly and produces about 14,000 tonnes of digestate for agricultural use (source: vidabioenergy.com).

In the United Kingdom, VIDA is developing the Glentham and Wormslade projects. Wormslade, under construction as of the latest update, is designed to process around 46,000 tonnes of feedstock annually and produce approximately 68 GWh of renewable biomethane, sufficient to heat over 5,000 homes. It also generates about 70,000 tonnes of digestate for agricultural use each year (source: vidabioenergy.com). Additionally, VIDA is pursuing a bioenergy installation at the Zevenellen business park in Leudal, Limburg, Netherlands, which is part of its development pipeline (source: vidabioenergy.com).

The company’s geographic strategy focuses on Europe, with operating and project locations in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, and plans to expand its platform to Poland (source: vidabioenergy.com).

The most significant recent development was the January 2025 rebranding of VTTI’s biomethane business into VIDA bioenergy, establishing a dedicated leadership team and independent brand while retaining full ownership by VTTI (source: vidabioenergy.com). The Bernheze facility’s milestone of injecting biomethane into the Dutch gas grid on 28 April 2026 marked a major operational achievement, followed by ramping up production (source: vidabioenergy.com).

Wormslade in the UK also reached gas-to-grid operation, initiating commercial biomethane injection into the UK gas grid, with plans to increase output toward full capacity during 2026 (source: vidabioenergy.com). VIDA’s sustainability framework assigns responsibility for environmental, social, and governance performance to senior leadership and a dedicated ESG Committee, incorporating safety, security, compliance training, and eight "golden compliance rules" into its operating framework (source: vidabioenergy.com).

VIDA bioenergy’s main corporate and technical base is in Breda, Netherlands, where roles include project management, engineering, mechanical engineering, operations, business development, and corporate functions such as human resources, communications, finance, governance, and ESG (source: vidabioenergy.com). The company seeks experienced professionals, with mechanical engineering roles requiring at least 10 years of expertise and reporting to senior project leadership, indicating a matrix-style environment supporting multiple assets and projects (source: vidabioenergy.com).

VIDA combines a start-up atmosphere with the professionalism, safety systems, expertise, and financial backing of its parent company VTTI. The work is international and project-based, spanning the Netherlands, UK, and potentially other European countries, with a focus on collaboration, safety, fair working conditions, and employee development (source: vidabioenergy.com).

Ideal candidates have experience in anaerobic digestion, gas upgrading, biogas, gas-grid connection, process engineering, mechanical design, EPC project delivery, plant operations, agricultural feedstock management, or energy-infrastructure development. The company’s growth phase also values commissioning, construction, permitting, commercial development, and operational-readiness expertise (source: vidabioenergy.com).
