Science is at the heart of everything we do; however, driving impactful change is best achieved through bringing diverse minds together.
The EPA welcomes individuals from varied professional backgrounds including Engineers, Accountants, Lawyers, Administrators, Economists, Hydrologists, Scientists, Geologists, Physicists, Chemists, Microbiologists, and much more.
Whatever your academic or professional background, there’s a place for you to make a difference in driving environmental change.
Furthermore, through our continuous learning and development programmes, we provide employees with the opportunity to develop the skills and knowledge required to carry out their roles.
The EPA is committed to creating a workplace culture that promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion and recognises that to fulfill our vision and mandate, we need people with different backgrounds, expertise, and perspectives.
We will continue to welcome a diverse range of employees at all levels, regardless of gender, civil status, family status, sexual orientation, religious beliefs, age, disability, race, membership of the Traveller community, or socio-economic background.
Publishing our gender pay gap data helps to reinforce our focus on Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion and ensures we comply with our obligations under the Gender Pay Gap Information Act 2021.
