We’re offering an exciting opportunity to join our Control of Agricultural Pollution Team ( South West Wales) on a permanent basis as an Environment Officer. We are looking for a confident and motivated individual with strong communication and influencing skills who can make a real impact.

As part of this team, you’ll work across Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire & Ceredigion to ensure farms are meeting the Control of Agricultural Pollution Regulations. Whether conducting inspections solo or alongside colleagues, you’ll be at the forefront of environmental protection, helping to shape sustainable agricultural practices.

This is more than a compliance role it is about building trust and driving change. You will engage with farmers and land managers, offering practical guidance and taking proportionate enforcement action when needed. Your ability to influence and communicate effectively will be key to fostering collaboration and long-term improvements.

If you’re curious by nature, thrive on problem-solving, and want a career where no two days are the same, this is your chance to be part of something meaningful. Join us and help shape a cleaner, safer, and more resilient environment for Wales.

Driving is essential to this role as you will cover a large geographical area and will be expected to attend remote sites that aren’t accessible via public transport. You must hold a full and current UK driving license.

As an organisation we support flexible working. You will be contracted to the nearest NRW office to your home and a suitable hybrid working pattern will be agreed on appointment. Any regular face to face meetings or training will be planned in advance.

To make an informal enquiry about this role, please contact Nicola Mills at nicola.mills@cyfoethnaturiolcymru.gov.uk

Interviews will take place through Microsoft Teams the week commencing 11/06/26.

Successful applicants will be subject to a satisfactory Disclosure and Barring Service Check (DBS) check. Appointments are normally made within 4 to 8 weeks of the closing date.

Reasonable Adjustment:

If you have a disability we will try our best to make reasonable adjustments to remove any barriers to this post in the application / interview process due to a disability.
