About our group | Mō te roopu
Compliance, monitoring and enforcement is an integral part of the EPA’s work to protect the environment and the health outcomes of New Zealanders. Activities undertaken by the CME Group sit alongside decision-making and engagement and are fundamental to the overall strategic direction of the EPA.
The Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement Group helps everyone – from small businesses to big organisations – understand and comply with environmental regulations to help protect communities, the environment and people.
We do this through educating, engaging, monitoring and investigating, and taking enforcement action when necessary. This approach benefits the environment, the economy and communities, and means we can focus our resources (including our enforcement powers) on tackling the most important environmental issues.
Our multi-disciplinary team of compliance, monitoring and enforcement officers work together, supporting each other to carry out this essential role in maintaining and upholding New Zealand’s environmental regulatory regime for the good of all of Aotearoa today, and for future generations.
About the role | Mō te tūnga
We are looking for multiple Compliance Officers to lead and contribute to the best practice delivery of regulatory compliance, monitoring and enforcement functions and decision making by the EPA. This includes supporting the compliance monitoring, inspection and investigation activities across a wide range of environmental legislation.
We are looking for regulatory practitioners with experience in carrying out a range of compliance, monitoring and enforcement activities and initiatives to ensure compliance across the EPAs legislative mandate. This includes providing quality technical and procedural advice, support for compliance and monitoring activities internally and maintaining professional relationships with regulated parties.
You will be responsible for conducting and assisting with inspections and investigations within technically complex facilities whilst adhering to health and safety policies and procedures to mitigate risk.
You will be solution focused, able to identify system improvements and support the delivery of training within CME whilst adhering to organisational values and behaviours.
