We are looking for people who appreciate how regulation of business and industry can make a big contribution to a more sustainable economy in our country.

Reporting our progress and outcomes to internal and external partners
Taking enforcement action to bring operators/organisations back into compliance
Working with external partners in government and private business to review and improve regulation.

Responding to incidents is a central part of what we do.

You will be required 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 and alternative working arrangements will be available to support you with your incident role.

The team- CCTRS is part of National Operations. We regulate and administer various UK Government climate change schemes. The aim is to protect and improve our environment. These regimes are central to ensuring that the UK is meeting our targets relating to greenhouse gas emissions.

Good data management and analysis skills, and the ability to interpret complex data.
Good understanding of environmental regulation.
Experience of training/mentoring others.

Whilst we are working flexibly between office locations and home, occasional travel to offices will be required.

Your base location will be Warrington, Sheffield or Preston and you will need to be able to work from the office when required.

Travel/commuting to your contractual office base location is at your own expense.
