Why this role matters

As an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Specialist, you will establish and manage Scatec's centralised EPR compliance framework in South Africa. You will help ensure compliance with the National Environmental Management: Waste Act (2008), applicable EPR Regulations, and sector-specific notices covering electronics, batteries, packaging and lighting. Working across business functions, you will strengthen the tracking of imported products from market entry through to end-of-life, close compliance gaps, and build a consolidated reporting system that supports accurate, auditable reporting.

What you'll be doing

In this role, you will take ownership of EPR compliance, product lifecycle tracking and reporting, including:

• Lead Scatec's compliance with applicable Waste Act and EPR requirements, translating regulatory obligations into practical operational controls.
• Establish and manage a centralised system to track imported products across their full lifecycle, from market entry to end-of-life outcomes.
• Consolidate and validate data from Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, Environmental, and Finance teams for accurate EPR reporting.
• Maintain complete, auditable registers of imported equipment, packaging, batteries, lighting and associated waste streams.
• Prepare and submit regulatory reports in line with applicable government requirements and reporting deadlines.
• Evaluate and manage Producer Responsibility Organisation (PRO) participation or internal compliance structures.
• Assess existing tracking processes, identify compliance gaps, and implement improved systems and controls.
• Support financial planning, fee forecasting, audits and governance relating to EPR obligations.

Your work will give Scatec a reliable view of its EPR obligations and product lifecycle data, helping teams make informed decisions and manage end-of-life responsibilities.

What you'll gain

• Ownership of a centralised EPR compliance framework within a global renewable energy business.
• Practical experience connecting regulatory requirements, product lifecycle data and operational processes.
• Broader commercial understanding through EPR fee forecasting, financial planning and audit support.
• Close collaboration with colleagues across Supply Chain, Engineering, Operations and Maintenance, Environmental, and Finance.
• The opportunity to strengthen reporting systems and compliance controls that support responsible renewable energy operations.

What you'll bring

Experience and qualifications

• A bachelor's degree in Commerce, Environmental Management, Law or a related field.
• 3-5 years' experience in data-intensive reporting, compliance, or ESG/EPR-related roles.
• Strong data management skills and advanced Excel proficiency.
• Experience designing or improving systems and processes across multiple business functions.
• The ability to interpret regulatory or legal requirements and translate them into practical operational controls.
• An analytical mindset, financial acumen and excellent attention to detail.
• Strong stakeholder engagement skills, including experience engaging with government authorities or regulatory stakeholders.
• The ability to work independently and across functions, troubleshoot problems, manage deadlines and prioritise multiple tasks under pressure.
• Experience in renewable energy, infrastructure, engineering, utilities or manufacturing environments is advantageous.

If you enjoy turning complex regulatory requirements and detailed data into clear, workable processes, this could be a strong next step in your career. We are looking for someone who combines sound judgement, strong organisational skills and confident stakeholder engagement with the discipline to build reliable compliance systems.
