Summary
We are looking for a dedicated individual to work in our regulatory team in Hertfordshire and North London delivering compliance on hazardous waste and waste classification. Our industrial sectors can produce, handle, and receive large volumes of hazardous waste and it is important that these wastes are classified and described correctly. Misdescription of these wastes can result in a wide range of environmental impacts. Ensuring compliance with these regulations provides a level playing field for industry to operate in.
You will be recognised as the Hazardous Waste Technical Lead, oversee hazardous waste regulatory delivery for the team, contribute to the development and delivery of the hazardous waste regime delivery plan and report on performance. You will focus your time on hazardous waste and waste classification compliance activities - centred around operations under the Environmental Permitting Regulations such as chemical manufacture, incineration, metals, paper and textiles, and refineries.
