• Evaluate regulatory changes and communicate relevant impacts and actions required across the business.
• Assist with compliance reviews, audits, inspections and continuous improvement projects.
• Undertake visits to other business locations where required, supporting audits and helping to ensure consistent standards and processes are maintained.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams, suppliers and external stakeholders to ensure compliance obligations are understood and effectively addressed.
• Contribute to developing a strong culture of compliance, accountability and continuous improvement throughout the organisation.

About You

• Previous experience in a compliance, quality, environmental, engineering or similar technical role.

• Knowledge and understanding of packaging legislation, WEEE and Batteries Regulations.
• A strong working knowledge of relevant legislation, regulations and regulatory compliance principles.
• Experience maintaining management systems, compliance records and associated documentation.

• Comfortable taking ownership of responsibilities and working with a high degree of autonomy.
