Installations Regulatory Officer - 32189
Job Description
We are looking for an experienced environmental professional to join our team that regulates waste and industrial installations in the Solent and South Downs Area. As a Regulatory Officer you will be at the forefront of protecting people and the environment from harm and helping contribute to a cleaner, greener world.
You will undertake compliance assessment activities at a wide range of complex waste and industrial sites and have a specialist focus on a particular sector such as landfill, biowaste, incineration, chemicals or hazardous waste. You will ensure permit compliance and make complex assessments of an operator's ability to protect the environment, prevent pollution and optimise use of resources. You will work nationally within the organisation to understand best practice affecting their area of specialism and share knowledge across the organisation. At times you will set conditions under which a site may continue to operate and enforce the law should they fail to comply. You will also respond to and investigate incidents, ensuring preventive and protective action is implemented. You will use your influencing and negotiating skills to secure best practice, often dealing with people at senior levels within industry, local communities and other interested groups.
Salary and grading will be based on experience and skills. The posts can be based in any office across the area which include Romsey, Chichester, Worthing or Pevensey. The need to attend these locations will be flexible, combined with site visits and home working. Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do. You'll be required to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident. This may attract an additional payment, and full training and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.
