Environmental Engineer

Environmental Engineer required to work days in Hartlepool

Salary: £35,000 - £40,000 plus benefits

We're now looking for an Environmental Engineer to join our team and help us raise the bar for environmental standards, right here on site.

If you've got a good grasp of environmental compliance, a solid technical background, and you want to do more than sit behind a desk, this could be your opportunity to really make your mark.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll be our go-to person on the ground for all things environmental - supporting the site teams to stay compliant, reduce risk, and make smarter environmental decisions.

This is a hands-on role where you'll:

• Help us meet our legal obligations and site permits
• Monitor and report on key areas like air quality, emissions, water and waste
• Carry out site audits and follow up on actions
• Work closely with the Environment Agency and internal departments
• Contribute to risk assessments and support incident investigations
• Get involved in projects that drive long-term environmental improvements

You'll be part of a small, site-based team - but you'll work with everyone, from engineers and operators to managers and contractors.

What You'll Need

We're looking for someone who can roll up their sleeves and get involved - someone who's confident in what they know but open to learning more.

Here's what will help you succeed:

• A degree in a STEM subject
• Good knowledge of environmental regulations in the UK
• A practical, well-organised approach to your work
• Confidence to work independently and speak up when it matters
• Strong communication skills and the ability to get on with people at all levels

It would be great if you've got experience with ISO 14001, Environmental Permitting Regulations (EPR), or if you've worked with the Environment Agency before - but we're happy to support the right person to build this knowledge.
