Who Are We?

We are a leading waste and resource management company that looks at the bigger picture. We help local authorities and businesses to minimise the amount of waste they produce by diverting valuable resources away from landfill and into our state-of-the-art recovery processes. We make the most of those resources, through reuse, endless recycling and green energy recovery.

Why Work at FFC Environment?

We Value Our People

We know we can achieve our company vision of transforming waste into valuable resources if our people are happy and have what they need to give their best. Evidenced by 4,220 FCC staff employed across the country, we challenge our people, encourage them, reward them, and keep them safe.

Tabitha Skeets | 2023/25 Programme

“I joined the FCC Graduate Programme to gain experience in the environmental sector to further my knowledge and interest in water management from my Geography Degree.”

My role within the Estates Team has given me the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of permitting and planning regulations and allowed me to develop my management and organisation skills when working on projects. I have enjoyed the opportunity to work from home and on-site, which has meant I have obtained a better understanding of the business as a whole - from operations to estates and property. 


Within the remaining months of the Graduate programme, I hope to become more independent in managing my projects and continue to broaden my perspective on sustainability and how we best manage the changing waste dynamics in the future.

Zac Cross | 2023/25 Programme

"As someone who studied Geography and forestry at university, I knew that working a combination of outside and in the office suited me along with being able to push myself and be part of an innovative industry, but I never thought that would be the waste industry."

FCC have provided a rich and immersive window into the industry through the graduate program that has opened my eyes to the waste & resource sector. I have already been involved in several projects, from trialling new VR training schemes and thinking forward about the impact’s climate change has on the business, to reviewing key health and safety documents, routing, and mobilisation of the fleet, to learning the day-to-day tasks that allow your bins to magically get emptied.


The FCC Graduate Programme is an all in one enveloping and exciting program to be a part of.
