As a Regulatory Compliance Officer, you will support a wide range of Environmental Enforcement activities, assisting with investigations, inspections and enforcement interventions relating to issues such as fly-tipping, waste offences, littering, public nuisance and other environmental concerns.

You will help investigate complaints, gather and record evidence, undertake site visits, prepare reports and case files, and provide advice to residents and businesses on regulatory requirements. Working alongside experienced enforcement officers, you will learn how legislation is applied in practice and progressively take on greater responsibility while helping to improve compliance and environmental standards within local communities.

Who are we looking for?

We're looking for two, full time permanent employees with a genuine interest in environmental enforcement and public service who is keen to learn, develop and make a positive difference in their community.

You will be an effective communicator with strong organisational skills, the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, and confidence when engaging with members of the public.
