Do you want to be at the heart of the biggest investigations the Environment Agency has ever led? We’re strengthening our team of Environmental Crime Investigators in the North and East of England to support a major investigation looking into potential breaches of permit conditions at sewage treatment works.
You’ll bring your enthusiasm to the role, alongside experience in regulation / enforcement or investigation activities.
Your work will be steered by a local lead Case Officer who will work closely with the national Senior Investigating Officer. You will primarily be responsible for ensuring information and materials gathered within the investigation are correctly brought into evidence. You will:
• Assist with site inspection/searches - including obtaining Magistrates Warrants if required.
• Analyse and evidence materials from site inspection/searches.
• Analyse data systems for reports of offending from sites, visit/revisit complainants, evidence any material they hold and start to build environmental effect / victim impact side of case.
• Analyse data systems and local regulatory work to determine if offences have been dealt with previously and what if any action/sanctions already taken.
• Evidence water company documents, eg, Companies House records, statement of accounts.
• Assist with S108/PACE interview planning, implementation, evidencing and review.
• Assist with case file production.
