Here's a brand new job that might just tick all your boxes if you have gained experience of environmental permit applications at a business (perhaps waste) or consultancy, or you’re a junior environmental consultant keen to take the next step in your career. Or maybe you've worked within waste or permitting at the Environment Agency and would like to move in to industry... Whatever your background, as Environmental Compliance Coordinator you will join the small and dedicated Environment & Sustainability team at our modern South Oxfordshire head office and get stuck in! 
 
What you’ll be doing as Environmental Compliance Coordinator 
You will lead, manage and be the main point of contact for permit applications across our multi-site business, whether these are being handled internally or through consultants.

Working with Site Managers and supporting their operational teams during Environment Agency visits, permitting inspections and audit processes will also be your area of responsibility.

What you’ll need
Understanding of Environmental Permitting Regulations and other relevant legislation, plus experience of working with the Environment Agency or other regulatory bodies. A full UK driving licence is a must too.
