What’s the role?

We are seeking an experienced Senior Air Quality Officer to work with us to improve the air quality in the borough. You will be responding to planning consultations, overseeing the progress made against the Air Quality Action Plan, progressing Action Plan measures and air quality projects, working closely with Public Health to raise awareness of the health impacts air quality can have and ensuring that all of the council’s statutory duties in relation to local air quality management are fulfilled.
