Waste Compliance and Operations Officer

Are you experienced in waste compliance and confident working in a fast-paced operational environment? Do you enjoy identifying issues, improving standards and making sure things are done properly?

We’re looking for a Waste Compliance and Operations Officer to join our team at Broughton. You’ll play an important role in ensuring our waste management operations remain compliant, efficient and aligned with environmental legislation and industry best practice.

It’s a varied role combining compliance, auditing, problem-solving and stakeholder engagement, giving you the opportunity to work closely with operational teams, customers, contractors and suppliers while helping us continually improve the way we work.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll carry out compliance audits across our waste operations, identifying areas for improvement and ensuring corrective actions are followed through to completion.

A key part of the role will be reviewing waste transfer notes and hazardous waste consignment documentation, supporting waste classification activities including EWC coding and Duty of Care requirements, and helping to drive the implementation of Simpler Recycling standards across the site.

You’ll review contractor RAMS to ensure work is carried out safely and compliantly, produce clear audit reports and maintain accurate compliance records.

Working collaboratively with operational teams, customers, suppliers and contractors, you’ll help resolve compliance issues, challenge where standards aren’t being met and promote a culture of continuous improvement.

About You

You’ll be organised, detail-focused and confident working independently within a busy operational environment. You’ll be comfortable challenging non-compliance when necessary while maintaining positive working relationships with those around you.

You’ll have a good understanding of waste legislation, WM3, EWC codes and Duty of Care requirements, along with experience carrying out audits and investigating compliance issues.

You’ll bring strong analytical and problem-solving skills, excellent communication and stakeholder management abilities and be confident managing competing priorities.

Good Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel, are also important, as you’ll be responsible for maintaining accurate records, producing reports and tracking actions through to completion.

Desirable Qualifications

While not essential, we’d particularly welcome applications from candidates who hold WAMITAB qualifications, ISO Internal Auditor certification, IOSH Managing Safely or NEBOSH qualifications.

Why Join Us?

This role offers the opportunity to influence operational standards, improve environmental performance, and make a tangible difference to how we manage waste compliance across the site. You'll work alongside experienced operational teams in a role that combines technical knowledge, auditing, stakeholder engagement, and continuous improvement.

If you're looking for your next challenge in environmental compliance and want to be part of a business committed to doing things safely, sustainably, and the right way, we'd love to hear from you.

Apply today and help us drive compliance, sustainability, and operational excellence.
