Senior Waste Regulation Officer – Once in Operations

The role

As a Senior Officer within the ‘Once in Ops Waste Regulation team’, you will be responsible for leading on Producer Responsibility regulations covering packaging, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) and batteries.

These regulations ensure businesses that manufacture, import and sell these products are responsible for their end-of-life environmental impact, helping us move towards a more circular and sustainable economy. 

You will have expert knowledge of Producer Responsibility regulations gained through experience of delivering non-site based waste regulation. You will be required to lead on assessing compliance, taking enforcement action, and dealing with complex queries from both internal and external customers.

You will ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, support proportionate action and achieve tangible multiple benefits from our regulatory interventions. This will include site visits, providing advice and guidance, undertaking investigations, data analysis and auditing.

Additionally, you will liaise with colleagues in our Evidence, Policy and Permitting department, other UK Regulators, Industry and DEFRA to influence policy and key decisions. 

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.
