Landfill and waste-professional consultant for the landfill area at Nordværk

Are you passionate about waste management, waste facilities and legislation?

Nordværk is seeking a specialist who has a strong interest in the waste sector and solid professional expertise. You will play a central role in the daily work to ensure an efficient and environmentally friendly operation of Nordværk's landfills, where you translate complex legal requirements into practical actions in a constantly evolving industry.

About the job

Landfills are technical installations regulated by complex national and European legal requirements. At the landfills, waste that cannot be recycled or energy-recovered is accepted. This places great demands on waste reception and plant operation.

You will become a key person in the Treatment Plant Division and, with direct reporting to the Division Manager, you will be responsible for ensuring that the landfills at all times comply with the complex legislation in the area. You will work closely with the two department heads for landfill and environmental facilities, operations and professional responsible roles and other professional functions across Nordværk, including the environmental department and the finance function.

You will have an exciting and varied day-to-day, where you contribute to the development of future treatment and landfill solutions. You will work systematically and effectively with optimization and advisory services to colleagues, managers and executives within the landfill area.

The area is narrow and knowledge sharing occurs at the national level. It is therefore important that you can build networks and be proactive.

Your tasks include, among others

• Drive professional development and implementation of initiatives in the landfill area
• Advise operations on landfilling from a technical, environmental and legal perspective
• Participate in nationwide network meetings on landfilling
• Project management of e.g. PFAS facilities and expansions of the landfill
• Analyze and translate new legislation and authorities' requirements into practice and professional direction
• Collaborate with authorities, consultants and other external partners
• Contribute to decisions on handling and distributing particular waste fractions
• Support the development and further development of SRO solutions in the landfill area
• Contribute to the preparation of procedures, instructions and professional standards
• Prepare reports to authorities

About you

Your educational background may be an advanced degree such as cand.scient. in Environmental Science/Chemistry, cand.jur. with a specialization in environmental law or similar and ideally experience from the waste, environmental or utilities sector.

• Experience with landfill operations is an advantage, but most importantly you are keen to develop professionally.
• Interest in the waste sector, environmental legislation and technical solutions
• Possess professional expertise that allows you to oversee complex material
• Have strong analytical power and can translate complex issues into concrete solutions
• Work independently and take responsibility for your tasks
• Have good collaboration and communication skills
• Are curious, proactive and motivated by both operations and development
• Can build relationships and trust among colleagues, authorities and partners

The company offers

You will hold a key position where you will have significant professional influence on the development of landfills and will be a central part of working with complex environmental professional and technical issues. You will have opportunities for both professional and personal development in an organization with high ambitions within climate and environment, while collaborating broadly across the organization and with external partners.

Flexibility in daily work is also offered, including the possibility of home office when tasks allow.

Nordværk operates according to the values integrity, collaboration, professionalism and sustainability. These are reflected in everyday life, and there is an emphasis on you wanting to live up to them in practice. As part of Nordværk's focus on well-being and a good working environment, smoking-free working hours are observed.
