Crynodeb
How can we incentivise companies to reduce unnecessary and difficult to recycle packaging?
How can we support Local Authorities to improve their waste collection infrastructure and enable the public to do the right thing?
In this role you will play a major part in delivering the Collection and Packaging reforms which set out to accomplish the above.
The introduction of an “Extended Producer Responsibility” for packaging will incentivise companies to take greater responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products resulting in more sustainable use of resources, mitigation of climate change and reduced waste and pollution.
We are looking for a lead analyst to join the Circular Economy evidence team, to take responsibility for the analytical quality and robustness of the numerical models which will be critical to delivering this policy. The role will be delivery focused leading to the implementation of a major government project in a technically complex policy area. You will work closely with policy colleagues, analysts from all professions, and external contractors. The role will also involve engaging with stakeholders from industry, local authorities, other government departments and the Devolved Administrations. This is a brilliant time to join the team as the transition from policy design towards delivery offers huge opportunity for direct impact and a blank slate for creative analysis.
The Circular Economy team are developing business critical numerical models to calculate local authorities waste management costs and ensure the charging of producers placing packaging on the UK market.
These complex models, incorporating large amounts of data, analysis and coding, are at the core of delivering Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging.
You will be responsible for the overall framework to ensure the analytical quality and robustness of these models through:
- Implementing through your team a quality assurance process meeting relevant standards already in use for other business critical models, in Government and elsewhere;
- Overseeing the work of modellers and data specialists to ensure they embed best quality assurance practices in their day-to-day work;
- Coordinating quality assurance activities across internal and external teams, for instance to invite scrutiny of the quality assurance process from external parties;
- Documenting quality assurance process for auditing and stakeholder engagement purposes, and to support the development of future business critical models.
Beyond the specific area of Extended Producer Responsibility for Packaging, we anticipate that you will be offered opportunities to support and engage with other policy areas in Resources and Waste and beyond, where similar business critical models are being developed.
