We’re looking for a number of dedicated individuals to work in the Installations Teams in Yorkshire on the regulation of Process Industry.
The post-holders will contribute to the delivery of a range of compliance activities to ensure operators are complying with their permits. These duties range from checking emissions monitoring data to site inspections to detailed audits of management systems. Duties of the post will involve frequent liaison with partners, community groups and the public often in relation to high profile process industry sites. Installations officers work closely with our national permitting service to provide pre-application advice to prospective applicants and existing permit holders on permit and variation applications. They also liaise closely with the permitting officers to ensure permits contain appropriate conditions, improvement requirements and emission limits.
Officers in the team will regulate their own portfolio of sites and will identify areas of non-compliance and improvement opportunities through inspections and audits. Officers will hold a warrant under S108 of the environment act 1995 and will be expected to take a firm but proportionate response to non-compliance.
The post-holders will also be expected to take part in our assessment of and response to environmental incidents activities during office hours.
