We’re looking for an experienced Environmental Enforcement Officer to investigate and tackle environmental crime, helping to improve the local environment and quality of life.

You’ll take the lead on cases involving fly-tipping, littering, illegal waste activity, nuisance and environmental pollution, gathering evidence, carrying out investigations and taking appropriate enforcement action.

Investigate environmental offences and service requests, gathering robust evidence for enforcement and prosecution.

Prepare and serve statutory and fixed penalty notices.

Conduct site inspections, surveillance and monitoring, including the use of CCTV and digital evidence.

Lead investigations and support legal proceedings, including giving evidence at court or tribunals.

Interview offenders and witnesses, including under PACE.

Provide clear advice and guidance to residents, businesses and partner organisations.

A relevant NVQ Level 3 or equivalent is desirable, although candidates with at least 3 years’ experience working within regulatory, enforcement or legal systems will also be considered.

You’ll need to be confident working independently, making sound decisions, managing investigations and communicating effectively with members of the public and other stakeholders.
