 The role
The Clean Air Strategy is a priority for Government. The Environment Agency regulates emissions from a wide range of industries including combustion, refineries, waste incineration, chemicals, metals, cement and lime, food and drink, paper/pulp and textiles manufacture. We also work with the Health and Safety Executive to reduce the risk of major industrial accidents damaging our environment. Noise and odour from industrial sites can also have a significant impact on the quality of life of those living or working nearby – in fact noise and odour issues are the most common cause of complaint relating to industry.

You will play a vital role in delivering improvements in air quality for people, habitats and wildlife, ensuring effective regulation of industry to protect the environment and promote sustainable growth. You will protect people’s quality of life whilst helping industry be good neighbours, comply with legislation and grow their businesses.

Working with Operations colleagues, Defra and other government departments and industry, you’ll inform policy and develop processes that will create a cleaner, safer and healthier environment whilst supporting economic growth, improving air quality, reducing emissions and preventing major industrial accidents. Your responsibilities may include:

• delivering improved air quality and national emissions targets
• assessing the impact of air pollution on people, habitats and wildlife
• developing and improving regulatory strategy
• providing guidance, training and support to operational colleagues
• providing specialist advice on monitoring and compliance for complex situations
• developing national and international standards for industrial technology and emissions
• encouraging high environmental standards
• ensuring compliance with legislation
• providing expert advice on the implementation of legislation
• updating and administering our staff training / development programme
• briefing on air quality matters for all parts and levels of the Environment Agency including Board members
• reporting on pollution inventory data.

The regulatory work we do is so diverse, we are looking to recruit people from a range of backgrounds. You will have either:
