About the Organisation
Environment Protection Authority Victoria (EPA) was established in 1971 as Victoria's environmental regulator. EPA's role is to prevent and reduce the harmful effects of pollution and waste on Victorians and the environment. We work in a complex and ever-changing operating environment. As the needs of Victorians change, we must be equipped to adapt and respond to a range of factors.

- A diverse and inclusive workplace with many career pathways.
- Hybrid and flexible work arrangement options.

The Senior Solicitor, Civil Litigation is a senior member of a team primarily responsible for leading civil litigation matters at the EPA, as well as supporting legal reviews of regulatory activity such as permissions and notices, and corporate legal affairs. You will provide expert legal services and advice, aligned to EPA’s strategic priorities to prevent harm to Victorian communities and the environment from pollution and waste.
This is a senior role for an experienced solicitor advocate that wants to contribute to the success of the EPA as it enters a new era of environmental protection in Victoria. Working under the broad direction and supervision of senior team leaders, you will actively contribute to a positive organisational culture and achieve the highest standards of performance and integrity; fostering genuine partnerships across all levels of government, industry, and community to deliver organisational outcomes.

- Develop and implement legal policy, procedures and guidelines and contribute to strategic policy development.
- Undertake administrative processes and other tasks as directed for the effective achievement of regulatory outcomes; ensure that all Government and EPA policies and procedures, such and financial management, occupational health and safety, and conduct are complied with.
