Pollution Control Officer

Public Protection

Newham is a diverse, vibrant, and exciting borough to work in. Newham is undergoing unprecedented regeneration and is not only the lynchpin of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2012 but has the London City Airport, the new Stratford International railway station and the Excel Exhibition Centre. We have now moved to a new landmark building in Docklands where we are embracing new ways or working to effectively respond to the challenges that face the borough.

Pollution Control Officer Ref No. HP40878B

We have a vacancy within our Pollution Control team that deals with the investigation, regulation and prevention of environmental pollution. Our priorities include:

The survey, investigation and enforcement relating to land contaminated by Newham’s historical industrial and commercial activities.
Regulating sites under the Environmental Permitting Regime
Air quality and air pollution in a changing urban environment
Noise control relating to the impacts of large scale regeneration and our growing transportation links.
Promoting environmental improvement by working closely with planning authorities.

You will possess knowledge and experience in environmental pollution control and will have excellent communication skills. Although we would welcome candidates who specialise in one or more area we will be happy to consider those with more general environmental pollution control knowledge and experience who feel they could grow into a more specialist role.
