Essex County Council (ECC) are delighted to be supporting Braintree Council to recruit a Waste Minimisation and Sustainability Advisor .

The Opportunity:

We have a great opportunity for a Waste Minimisation and Sustainability Advisor to join our Operations service to help tackle climate change and support residents and local businesses in minimising waste, recycling more and maximising opportunities in the circular economy. 

The Role:

The changes to waste and recycling legislation and policies make this a very exciting time to join the Waste Minimisation & Sustainability team, as they will be integral to delivering these changes over the coming years. 

The climate crisis is one of the most significant issues to face our society, our environment and the planet. We have seen a rapid global rise in greenhouse gas emissions over the last 100 years and a trend towards increasing global average temperatures over the last century.

You will have excellent interpersonal and organisational skills and a proven experience with Microsoft Office, especially Excel, Word and Power Point. 

You will need to be flexible with your hours, which could occasionally start as early as 6.30am when liaising with the refuse and recycling collection crews. Occasional evening and weekend working may also be required in order to attend evening meetings/talks and weekend events. Candidates should possess a full clean driving licence and access to their own vehicle for business use.

In return we will offer our Waste Minimisation and Sustainability Advisor excellent benefits including;

Competitive pay and benefits Flexible working Free parking Local government pension scheme Learning and development for all staff Staff discounts at local businesses Staff recognition schemes Extensive health and wellbeing programme including discounted gym membership

Braintree is an ambitious and dynamic Council and is becoming one of the fastest growing Districts in the East of England with three growing towns, London just 45 minutes away and the district located directly between the international transport centres of Stansted Airport and Harwich and Felixstowe International Ports. We have a deserved track record for delivering and a strong reputation within the business community.

Braintree District Council is a great place to work. We pride ourselves on our creative, innovative and forward thinking approach which is led by our staff. We are committed to having an engaged workforce who understand our strategy and how they can help deliver it.
