The role

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting six paid placement opportunities starting in September 2025. These are specifically for soon to be or recent graduates in an environmental, sustainability or related discipline.

Are you passionate about protecting Wales’s natural resources? Do you want to help deliver Wales’s commitments to reach zero waste by 2050 and reduce our carbon emissions? Then this is the time to join us. Welsh Government’s ‘Beyond Recycling Strategy’ is a plan to make a circular economy in Wales a reality, and highlights that our pathway towards a zero waste, low carbon economy has never been more important. It is an exciting time for waste regulation.

The four UK Governments are introducing a Digital Waste Tracking system that will revolutionise the way in which waste is tracked, cracking down on waste crime and helping Wales manage its waste more sustainably.

The placements will play a crucial role in helping us embed and regulate the new requirements. Through application of our Regulatory Principles, you will ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, support proportionate action and achieve multiple benefits from our regulatory interventions.

If successful, you will work alongside other regulatory officers and higher education placements in the Waste Once in Operations Team in our Operations Directorate. You will be provided with a full training package and will be mentored by teams and colleagues across Wales who are responsible for delivering waste policy and regulation. You will work independently and alongside our staff to experience a diverse range of opportunities and practices to protect and enhance the environment via a combination of office and field-based activities.

Interviews will be conducted viaMicrosoft Teams.

The interviews will take place on 07/07/25.

Successful external applicants will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) check. We aim to make offers of appointment within 4 to 8 weeks of the closing date.
