You’ll play a vital role in ensuring effective regulation of the waste industry to protect people, communities and the environment and promote sustainable growth. You’ll provide support to help the Environment Agency manage environmental and flood incidents.
Our Senior Environment Officers provide technical leadership and coaching to our teams of waste regulators across Sussex, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. We’re growing our technical resilience due to changes in the charges our customers pay, resulting in increasing expectations of the regulatory, advisory and auditing services that we provide.
You will be adept at influencing change in behaviours of directors of businesses in the waste management industry to ensure those businesses achieve compliance with their environmental permits. You will understand what motivates businesses to be sustainable and make the right choices to protect people and the environment. You’ll also be astute – making the judgement where businesses cannot or will not adapt and you’ll be prepared to use our range of regulatory tools and incentives to achieve compliance.
You will apply your commercial skills to ensure that our resources are spent based on the sources of our income and that charges are properly billed and debt recovered.
