Role
Who You Are
We are seeking an experienced agency Environmental Health Officer with a strong pollution background to support a small Pollution / Environmental Protection team. The ideal candidate should have a comprehensive understanding of environmental protection, particularly in noise and air quality management, and be prepared to lead and advise on strategic and project-based work.
What the Job Involves
The post holder will lead on noise-related planning consultations, including the assessment of development proposals and the provision of technical noise advice to Planning. The role involves managing and advising on Section 61 applications and derogations under the Control of Pollution Act. The EHO will contribute to air quality work, including implementing the council's draft Air Quality Action Plan and aiding in the forthcoming public consultation process. While understanding water quality issues is advantageous, this non-reactive role focuses on technical, strategic, and project-based work rather than day-to-day service delivery.
Skills
- Qualified Environmental Health Officer or Pollution Officer
- Experience in noise planning consultations and Section 61 processes
- Knowledge of air quality management and action planning
- Awareness of water quality and environmental improvement projects
- Ability to work independently and provide clear technical advice
