About The Role
We’re recruiting confident, professional individuals to join our team as Environmental Enforcement Officers. This is a front‑line, on‑the‑ground role where you’ll spend your working day on foot patrol, identifying environmental offences and issuing Fixed Penalty Notices (FPNs) to members of the public.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being outdoors, working independently, and making a visible difference to local communities.
About Us
Waste Investigations Support & Enforcement (WISE) works in partnership with Local Authorities across the UK to tackle environmental crime, including littering, fly‑tipping, dog fouling and duty of care offences. Using industry expertise, trained officers and modern technology, we deliver visible, fair and effective enforcement that helps keep boroughs clean and safe.
A Day in the Life
A typical shift will involve:
* Starting your day by heading out on foot patrol across busy town centres, high‑footfall areas and residential streets
* Observing public behaviour and identifying offences such as littering, dog fouling and fly‑tipping
* Approaching offenders confidently and professionally to explain the offence and issue Fixed Penalty Notices
* Educating members of the public on their environmental responsibilities
* Accurately recording evidence, statements and reports using provided systems
* Working independently while remaining supported by a wider enforcement team and management
You’ll be outdoors for most of your shift and regularly engaging with the public, so confidence, resilience and professionalism are key.
What We’re Looking For
* Strong communication skills and a confident, professional manner
* Resilience and the ability to handle challenging conversations calmly
