Crynodeb
As a Senior Technical Officer, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the future of recycling in England and see the impact of your work every day. Working within our Combined Packaging Regime team, you’ll regulate producers who place packaging on the market, ensuring they meet their legal obligations and manage their packaging waste responsibly. This work involves a balance of fieldwork and desk-based tasks, so a valid full UK driving licence is essential and must be obtained prior to your application. You will:
Support and develop Regulatory Officers to become confident in their role through regular training and feedback
Support health, safety and wellbeing by promoting awareness and good practice, in line with the Environment Agency guidance
Work with your team and wider regime to bring businesses into compliance and investigate suspected non-compliance
Carry out audits both on-site and remotely, as a lead officer and as support to regulatory officers in training
Build effective relationships with businesses and stakeholders
Solve technical challenges and develop practical, evidence-based solutions
Analyse complex data to support informed decision making and be able to justify decisions to your team and stakeholders
Create, develop and improve processes and operational guidance
Ensure work is consistently delivered to required standards and service levels while reflecting best practice ways of working
You’ll also play a key role in incident response, with full training and support provided, as well as additional payment where applicable.
We are committed to building an inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve. Diversity and inclusion are central to how we work—we seek it, embrace it, and live it for the benefit of our people, our communities, and the environment. Flexible working patterns, including job sharing, are welcomed.
The team
You’ll join a supportive, diverse team that truly values collaboration and celebrates success together. United by a shared commitment to protecting the environment, we take real pride in the difference our work makes. Working nationally, we improve recycling quality and ensure packaging is responsibly managed. With a blend of fieldwork and desk-based tasks, we tackle compliance challenges and approach our work with curiosity, integrity, and a genuine willingness to help each other grow.
Experience/skills required
You’ll thrive in this role if you can:
Support and develop Regulatory Officers to become confident in their role through training and feedback, as well as developing your own skills
Demonstrate correct health, safety and wellbeing practices and ensure your team follows best practice too
Handle challenging conversations with confidence and professionalism
Travel as needed across the Southeast as part of our Packaging Producer team
Influence and build strong relationships in complex environments
Produce accurate reports and analyse data using our systems
Prioritise effectively to manage multiple demands and deliver results
Knowledge of pEPR regulations, compliance and enforcement legislation is ideal—but don’t worry, training will be provided. A valid, full UK driving licence is essential and must be obtained prior to your application.
We’ll invest in your growth with specialist training, mentoring, and opportunities to progress within the Environment Agency.
