1 month ago

Cardiff, United Kingdom Natural Resources Wales Full time

**Contract Type**: Fixed Term Appointment until 31 March 2025

**Work Pattern**: 37 Hours per week, Monday to Friday

**Post Number**: 203451

As an organisation we support flexible working. This role allows hybrid working (a mix of home and office working) and a working pattern suitable for you can be discussed on appointment if you are successful.

You will be contracted to a NRW office within the place base, of which you will be required to attend for regular meetings, training and for one-to-one meetings with your manager. These will be planned in advance.

In October 2021 Welsh Government published its Net Zero Carbon Budget 2 (2021-2025). This strategy sets out a number of policies and proposals across all sectors and provides a clear focus on the waste sector for landfill sites.

This operational role will support the NRW in the delivery of Net Zero 2, through the Landfill Emission Reduction Project (LERP), specifically focussed on the impact from landfill sites, both closed and operational.

You will be working within a team of specialists in landfill regulation. The work will comprise the planning and delivery of a series of detailed landfill gas audits with the aim of increasing rates of landfill gas capture and destruction / utilisation at operational and closed landfill sites.

The program will also include work to improve the level of understanding of landfill gas flaring at all applicable sites, with the aim of ensuring outputs of the national MELMOD LFG emissions model to present a more accurate picture of emissions from the sector. You will be working to understand the impact of changing waste streams on LFG quality and generation and explore the options for tackling the key waste streams identified in MELMOD as having the biggest contribution to total greenhouse gas emissions.

You will also work collaboratively with DEFRA and other UK regulators.

**Responsibilities**:
Your responsibilities will include:

- Assess compliance at installations, COMAH sites, waste sites and sites handling radioactive substances.
- Liaison with Counter Terrorism Security Advisors.
- Take appropriate actions to collect evidence for enforcement purposes, in accordance with defined procedures.
- Routinely lead our response to large or contentious cases/issues.
- Where non-compliance is identified, determine and implement the most appropriate intervention option to ensure operators return to compliance as quickly as possible, with minimum environmental impact and consideration of the economic impacts.
- Work with Operators to develop medium-term regulatory strategies for the installations, including engagement with senior managers and executives within companies, to deliver multiple benefits.
- Be required to participate in technical/ strategic groups or represent NRW on external forums e.g., UK regulators’ sector groups, as required.
- Contribute to NRW Sector Groups and cross-agency sector groups as required to aid adoption of consistent regulatory approaches and the dissemination of good practices to the benefit of the environment.
- Coaching and mentoring of team members.
- Required to take part in incident response activities

**Qualifications, Experience & Knowledge**:
You will be able to demonstrate knowledge and experience of the following:

- Extensive knowledge and experience of either working in a regulated industry or as a regulator.
- Good understanding of commercial business processes and pressures.
- Ability to communicate effectively with regulated business and the public, explaining complex issues and gaining support by influencing.

**Welsh Language Requirements**:
**Essential Level 1** - Able to pronounce Welsh and use basic phrases

**Please note** if you do not meet the level 1 requirement i.e., ability to understand basic phrases and ability to pronounce Welsh names correctly, then NRW offers a variety of learning options and staff support to help you meet these mínimal requirements during the course of your employment with us.

**Competencies**:
**Essential Knowledge and Skills**
- Able to undertake practical or technical tasks or work, requiring specialist knowledge/ expertise.
- Demonstrates substantial experience and specialist knowledge in their field, with the ability to manage projects, including the project budget and team.
- Possess analytical, influencing, persuading, supervisory and mentoring skills, together with project management skills.

**Evaluation of Information**
- Able to interpret the function’s operational delivery plans and understand their context in the wider NRW strategy.
- Able to interpret developments in their area of expertise, contributing to business planning and the design and delivery of team-work programmes.
- Demonstrates the ability to analyse and interpret a wide range of complex information, extracting key points and able to communicate them to individuals at all levels and contribute to the development of policy.
