This is an exciting opportunity to join a front-line operational area team in the fight to tackle environmental crime.
In this Environmental Crime Officer (ECO) role, you will focus on investigating and disrupting waste crime but will also support colleagues in taking enforcement action in response to other environmental offences.
You will work with subject matter specialists and partner agencies to achieve this.
This is an interesting and varied role.
You will be working with others, gathering intelligence and evidence and preparing case files for court.
You may be working with an operator of an illegal waste site, bringing them into compliance one day, and disrupting an Organised Crime Group operating in the waste sector the next day.
You will be involved in challenging conversations with sometimes confrontational individuals, requiring you to adapt your communication style.
Waste crime is borderless, so those in our operational roles need to be agile.
Occasional pre planned travel should be expected and overnight stays may be required.
You will need to regularly attend offices to co-locate with your team, attend meetings, maintain the visibility across your area and develop investigations.
The nature of this role often involves activity at outdoor venues. These will at times require officers to walk across the open countryside on rough ground or climb steep slopes.
Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do.
You will be asked to have an incident role and make yourself available to respond to incidents or provide business continuity support during an incident.
This may attract an additional payment, and full training will be available to support you with your incident role.
