We're looking for an experienced Project Manager to help shape and deliver the National Trust's mitigation of impacts arising from the construction of Sizewell C Nuclear Power Station.
We want a great communicator with versatile project management skills who can deliver successful outcomes across a range of landscape, wildlife, external partner and visitor focussed work.
What it's like to work here: You'll be part of the Trust's internal consultancy: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise.
As one of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including curators, archaeologists, building surveyors and project managers, you'll be working with others to help make things happen.

What you'll be doing: You'll seek to mitigate impacts on people, land and nature arising from visitor pressure and displacement during construction of Sizewell C. You could be working with the team to coordinate surveying, monitoring, and practical habitat and species management, delivering landscape and infrastructure projects to focus visitors away from views impacted by construction as well as helping property staff enhance our visitor programme responding to the needs of our audience.
The success of the role requires effective engagement with Sizewell C and key partners, representing the organisation in external forums including maintaining awareness of opportunities to apply for a share of £200m of funds linked to the development.
You'll help keep track of deadlines, manage risk, and deliver at pace, within budget and in line with requirements of funders/investors.
You'll take responsibility for ensuring you maintain systems and records in accordance with the National Trust Project Management Framework.
