We have an exciting opportunity in the Market Surveillance Unit in the Public Sector and Regulatory Programmes Department.
The Market Surveillance Unit is part of the Public Sector and Regulatory Programmes Department which administers and manages several programmes designed to deliver on the Climate Action Plan and to meet statutory regulatory requirements.

It also has responsibility for managing the Triple E Register of energy efficient products.
As MSA Legal and Regulatory Governance Programme Manager, you will have responsibility for legal-based interactions of Market Surveillance activities such as:
- undertaking detailed compliance assessments, including on occasions, laboratory testing.
- undertaking inspections of retail operations (stores, websites and advertising) to check compliance with the energy and tyre labelling regulations.
- advising economic operators regarding compliance issues.
- using the civil and criminal enforcement powers of the MSA, if required, to address non-compliance and deal with offences against the Regulations.
There is a strong international dimension to the market surveillance work which by its nature requires collaboration with MSAs in other EU Member States and engaging closely with the European Commission.
