As New Zealand's environmental regulator, the work we do today helps shape the future of our tomorrow.

**Our purpose | To tātou Kaupapa**:
We are the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), New Zealand’s independent environmental regulator. Our role is important; to help protect our country’s unique way of life by looking out for the health of its environment, its economy and its people.

What we achieve today helps shape the future of New Zealand for generations to come. We welcome you to join us on our journey to a healthy environment that benefits us all.

Jump in the waka - make history with us.

**About our group | Mō te roopu**:
Compliance, monitoring and enforcement is an integral part of the EPA’s work to protect the environment and the health outcomes of New Zealanders. Activities undertaken by the CME Group sit alongside decision-making and engagement and are fundamental to the overall strategic direction of the EPA.

The Compliance, Monitoring and Enforcement Group helps everyone - from small businesses to big organisations - understand and comply with environmental regulations to help protect communities, the environment and people.

We do this through educating, engaging, monitoring and investigating, and taking enforcement action when necessary. This approach benefits the environment, the economy and communities, and means we can focus our resources (including our enforcement powers) on tackling the most important environmental issues.

Our multi-disciplinary team of compliance, monitoring and enforcement officers work together, supporting each other to carry out this essential role in maintaining and upholding New Zealand’s environmental regulatory regime for the good of all of Aotearoa today, and for future generations.

You will be required to carry out a range of CME activities including providing technical/procedural advice and support for monitoring and compliance, to fulfil the EPAs legislative mandate.

As part of this role, you will plan and lead investigations into non-compliance and identify appropriate outcomes that mitigate risk to people and the environment.

Effective leadership is a key requirement for the Senior Investigator position, to ensure the effective sharing of knowledge and expertise, whilst embracing organisational values and behaviours.

- Experience in the preparation of prosecution files, seizing exhibits and interviewing.

- Proven experience of mentoring and developing others in regulatory compliance practices.
- Comprehensive experience in regulatory compliance and enforcement, ideally within central or local Government.
- Experience in analysing complex technical and scientific data, with an ability to identify non-compliance with legislation.

**What’s in it for you | Ngā āhuatanga kei a mātou**:

- flexible working culture
- three paid ‘Board holidays’ in addition to four weeks’ annual leave
- $400 gross payment to help you set up working at home

- active and lively social club, and diverse groups and support networks
