Details: The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) is the primary environmental regulator for the ACT. Our Mission is to protect and enhance the well-being of the environment and community as the ACT’s primary environmental regulator. Our Vision is a sustainable environment for future generations. The EPA is responsible for a range of environment protection issues including air and water quality, hazardous materials, waste, contaminated sites and environmental noise. We administer the Environment Protection Act 1997, Water Resources Act 2007, Clinical Waste Act 1990 and the Lakes Act 1976. The Environment Protection Team supports a range of functions to support the EPA’s legislative obligations including conducting investigations, responding to complaints, site inspections, issuing authorisations, taking regulatory action, and undertaking compliance audits and reporting.

The role is responsible for conducting environmental investigations, gathering and assessing evidence, and preparing statutory documents, reports and enforcement tools to achieve compliance and protect human health and the environment. The position carries out inspections of premises and activities, assesses applications for environmental approvals and licences, and provides technical advice on environmental protection and pollution control matters. In performing these duties, the role applies a risk‑based and proportionate regulatory approach, ensuring decisions and recommendations are evidence‑based, legally sound and consistent with legislative requirements and organisational policy. The position contributes to effective regulatory outcomes by engaging with regulated entities, stakeholders and the wider community, and by supporting enforcement, compliance and education activities aimed at preventing or minimising environmental harm.
You must be a team player with the ability to work independently to support your team environment and in responding to customer and stakeholder requests promptly. Key to the role, you must demonstrate the ability to manage competing priorities to provide decisions in line with applicable legislation and regulatory framework.

Opportunities for flexible working options could include hybrid working, being a combination of working from home, designated office based and FlexiSpace working locations across the ACT, part-time hours, job-sharing, flexible start, and finish times. Selection may be based on application and referee reports only.
