Are you passionate about tackling crime in the waste sector? We are looking for a technical leader to push forward the prevention and disruption of waste crime in our West Hub. As one of the senior officers in the team, you will be responsible for producing and delivering intelligence-led strategies to target priority waste offenders. You will be supported by Environmental Crime Officers within the team so there will be a need to work effectively as a unit as well as supporting their development through coaching and mentoring.
We can achieve great things by collaborating. You will have a role in consolidating relationships with key partners as well as identifying new partners and tactics wherever possible.
You will be required to work effectively with Areas within the West Hub to embed and promote Prevention and Disruption as an enforcement tool – primarily within Regulated Industry but across all regimes in the longer term. You will support Areas in your Hub where resource or expertise for local priorities is requested.
Measuring and evaluating our work is important and you will support your peers and team leader in using data and metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the interventions we use.
