About Us
At Amtivo Group, we're more than just a global provider of Certification, Inspection, and Training services.

The Role
As an Environmental Compliance Officer, you'll play a vital role in
enforcing waste legislation
and
investigating illegal activity
. This role is both investigative and operational, with no two days alike. From carrying out inspections and audits to conducting surveillance and presenting evidence in court, you'll be at the forefront of protecting the environment and ensuring compliance.
You'll work closely with enforcement partners, including Local Authorities, the Environmental Protection Agency, An Garda Síochána, and Customs & Revenue Service, helping to build a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future.

* Provide evidence in court proceedings when necessary.
* Collaborate with enforcement partners to strengthen compliance efforts.
What We're Looking For
We're seeking someone with
at least 3 years' proven experience in either waste management, investigations, enforcement, or compliance-related roles
. Alongside this, you'll bring strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the confidence to represent findings in formal settings.
Ideally, you have:
* A degree in Environmental Sciences (or equivalent NVQ Level 8 qualification).
* At least 3+ years' relevant professional experience (waste management, investigations, enforcement, or compliance).
* A full, clean driver's licence (Category B minimum).
* Strong analytical, organisational, and reporting skills.
* Excellent written, verbal, and interpersonal communication skills.
