Environmental Officer

An Environmental Officer ensures an organisation’s activities are sustainable and environmentally aware. You’ll make sure practices meet government standards and guidelines and are also in line with company environmental policies. Environmental Officers may implement programs addressing issues such as waste minimisation or pollution control. You might also prepare reports on the effectiveness of your organisation’s activities in meeting environmental guidelines.

Environmental Officers should be passionate about the environment and be able to incorporate environmental ideals in a corporate setting. You’ll need strong leadership skills and should be an excellent communicator. Environmental Officers should be able to manage several projects at once and have good time management skills. It’s important that you are organised and can work as part of a team.
