What you'll do
This role sits within the Permitting team, which is responsible for maintaining a register of around 1,700 water discharge permits. The team liaises with the Environment Agency (EA) to ensure the necessary environmental permits are progressed to assist with the delivery of our environmental obligations.

3. Provide advice on permit requirements across the business, as well as assist with other regulatory work as necessary.
4. Adapt as the regulatory environment for wastewater management evolves.
5. Visit a variety of operational sites, both wastewater and supply.
What you'll need
We are looking for strong verbal and written communication skills suitable for liaising with internal departments and external regulators. You will need to be innovative and positive in your approach. In addition, we are looking for:
1. Competency in the use of Microsoft Office, including Word and Excel.
2. An A-level in a science subject (or equivalent).
3. A good eye for detail and awareness of environmental compliance.
4. Knowledge of wastewater networks and treatment processes (desirable).
