Enforcement generally and waste crime in particular, are important aspects of the Environment Agency’s work attracting a great deal of high profile attention from government, media and other external stakeholders.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a significant contribution to maintain and enhance our enforcement capability. In so doing you will also be helping to support safer and healthier communities, protect and improve our environment, enable legitimate business to contribute to economic growth and ensure that people trust and respect our regulation.

The role provides the opportunity to work with a wide range of customers and colleagues, at all levels, from both within and outside the Agency.
