Environmental Protection Officer

Duration- 6 months +, possible extension or temp-perm

A client of mine working for a local authority is looking to hire an Interim Environmental Protection Officer, specializing in noise, nuisance, pollution control and planning applications. The role is initially for the next 6 months due to a number of outstanding service requests, and a gap in their team due to a long standing permanent vacancy, but extension may be possible.

The role is full-time, 37 hours per week, but part-time can also be considered for the right candidate. Hybrid working is standard within this local authority, so it is expected that the candidate placed will be on site a minimum of 3 days each week depending on the workload.

A successful candidate will have experience in:

• Statutory nuisance investigations
• Pollution control and enforcement
• Environmental Health or Environmental Protection within a local authority
• Environmental permitting and regulatory compliance
• Planning consultations and reviewing planning applications
• Private water supplies

Interviews are to be held within the next week and ideally the candidate will need to start asap.
