Project Development Manager

We are the county’s leading conservation charity, committed to protecting wildlife and inspiring a lifelong love of nature. We manage nature reserves and discovery parks across the county, providing outstanding outdoor education and preserving places of wonder.

Founded in 1959 by volunteers, we protect over 8,400 acres of land across 87 sites and are supported by 39,000 members. Our climate is in crisis and our species face extinction. The natural world needs our help. Together we can protect the future. Join us.

The Project Development Manager is responsible for managing the Trust’s major projects from inception to completion and supporting an organisation-wide approach to project management, providing in-house training and advice as necessary. The size and scope of projects that require direct oversight is likely to change on a regular basis, ranging from a portfolio of smaller projects to a single flagship project such as the build of a new visitor centre.

Given the changing nature of the role, the ideal candidate is someone with a proven track record of project management and the ability to acquire expertise quickly whilst managing a complex set of shifting priorities.

Are you an experienced and flexible project manager with a passion for wildlife and conservation? If the answer is yes, this could be the role for you.
