Environmental Engineer at Miva – Together for a Sustainable Future

Do you want to work in an industry that truly makes a difference? Water and sewage, along with waste and recycling, are part of our everyday life.

Our main tasks are concrete, but it is also in our industry that significant investments are made. This is necessary because an important part of our infrastructure needs to function both today and far into the future.

We are passionate about environmental issues – whether it’s about how we detoxify the cycle or how we can make it easy for our customers to sort waste correctly. Waste will always exist, and someone must take care of it in the best possible way. Do you want to join us on our continued journey?

• Participate in internal and external training initiatives
• Contribute expertise regarding our treatment plants for leachate and biogas
