As a Permits Officer, you’ll be constantly dealing with environmental permit issues. These issues are wide-ranging, dynamic, varied, and sometimes downright challenging. You’ll base your responses on laws and regulations, but you’ll always put yourself in the customer’s shoes. You’ll support your colleagues in the Environmental Permits department. Every day is full of surprises. Want to join us? We’re actually looking for someone to serve as a “Spokesperson,” but according to the job description, we’re hiring a Permits Officer.
Here's what you will do:
You will work alongside your colleagues, the permit officers in our team, and you will ensure that you can cover for one another. However, you will also have your own set of responsibilities related to construction and the General Local Regulation (APV).
Your focus area involves moderately complex legal questions regarding topics related to the Environment Act, such as “Am I allowed to”:
Under the General Local Regulation (APV), you handle various reports and permits. These include Easter bonfires and celebratory bonfires, carbide shooting, the so-called “12-day rule,” and temporary and long-term business locations.
This naturally includes handling customer inquiries on these topics, as well as maintaining and coordinating the information in our knowledge base and on our website. You’ll be the first point of contact for our customer service center regarding these topics, which means you’ll occasionally find yourself in those “on-the-spot decision-making” situations.
What do you bring?
