Trainee Projects Officer – Land Management

If you have a passion for the environment and are keen to work with our team in Hertfordshire
to fulfil our aspiration to create a greener, cleaner, healthier environment, then this could
be the role for you.

An exciting opportunity has become available for a Trainee Projects Officer to join our Land
Management team and contribute to a range of interesting and varied environmental land
management projects.

Our ambitious Sustainable Hertfordshire Strategy includes a commitment to improve biodiversity
across Hertfordshire by 20% before 2050, and this is your opportunity to play a vital role in
making this target a reality.

The Countryside and Rights of Way Service works in partnership with private landowners,
communities and other local authorities to develop and deliver projects that enhance the
environment for people and wildlife. Our Land Management team has a broad project portfolio
encompassing woodland management, heathland restoration, chalk river restoration and developing
old railway lines as active travel routes.
