• Educating members of the public on their environmental responsibilities
• Accurately recording evidence, statements and reports using provided systems
• Working independently while remaining supported by a wider enforcement team and management
  
  

You’ll be outdoors for most of your shift and regularly engaging with the public, so confidence, resilience and professionalism are key.
