Environment Officer

Job Description

Are you passionate about protecting the environment and making a positive impact in local communities?

As an Environment Officer with Natural Resources Wales, you will help deliver sustainable management of natural resources across North Powys. Working within a multi-disciplinary team, you will provide technical expertise to protect and improve the water environment through environmental management, compliance work, water quality investigations, and sustainable water resource management.

The role includes carrying out regulatory duties under environmental legislation, responding to environmental incidents, and working with farmers, businesses, communities and partners to deliver practical environmental solutions. You will also support wider priorities such as biodiversity enhancement, protected site management, fisheries initiatives and Water Framework Directive objectives.

This varied role combines technical, regulatory and field-based work, offering the opportunity to contribute to healthier rivers, resilient ecosystems and thriving communities across North Powys.

A full UK driving licence is essential for this role. The successful candidate will be required to travel regularly to sites in rural locations that are not accessible by public transport, often at short notice, including attendance at environmental incidents.

At NRW, we are committed to supporting flexible ways of working. You will be contracted to an NRW office within the advertised location, with a hybrid working arrangement agreed on appointment. Any regular face-to-face meetings, site visits or training activities will be planned in advance wherever possible.
