Strategic Project Manager

Are you a project manager who wants to make a difference for wildlife and the natural
environment?

Avon Wildlife trust is looking for a highly organised project manager with excellent
communication skills to manage the acquisition, planning and development of a significant new
nature reserve, with visitor facilities and an operational hub for our staff and volunteers.

This is a key project contributing towards our goal of bringing wildlife back to the West of
England and our strategic objectives of more land managed for nature, more people taking action
for wildlife and more nature-based solutions helping to tackle the impacts of development,
flooding and climate change.

As project manager you will co-ordinate all aspects of the project, including ecological,
commercial and fundraising work strands:

• habitat creation, including surveys, permissions and groundworks
• development of the visitor and commercial opportunities presented by buildings on the site
• tender processes to appoint and manage contractors such as ecologists, architects and
  construction companies

You will develop and maintain positive relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders
including local communities, interest and volunteer groups, site visitors, local councillors,
and statutory bodies for nature, and water management.

Join us and be part of nature’s recovery.
