***INTERNAL APPLICANTS ONLY***

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.

This is a fixed term contract due to end when the postholder returns to the role. At this point we cannot confirm exactly how long this contract will last, but it is unlikely to be more than 12 months.

What it's like to work here

You'll be part of the Trust's internal Specialist Delivery Team: a flexible resource of specialist skills and expertise. As one of a multidisciplinary team of experts, including curators, fundraisers, building surveyors and project managers, you'll be working with others to help make things happen.

Your contractual place of work will be the National Trust office at Dunwich. Our hybrid working policy means you can balance office and home working with site visits and meetings at other National Trust places. We'll talk about this in more detail at interview, but you should expect to be at a National Trust site for 40-60% of your working week.

What you'll be doing

You'll seek to mitigate impacts on people, land and nature arising from visitor pressure and displacement as a consequence of Sizewell C construction . You will work with the property 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 through delegated project workstreams. You will also work with the external stakeholders and submit reports to the funders. 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 £20m 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. Please also read the role profile attached to this advert.

Who we're looking for

We'd love to hear from you if you're:
  • experienced in managing projects with an environmental focus and understanding of delivering works in historically and ecologically sensitive environments.
  • experienced and confident to work alone and understand when to draw on the skills of others
  • experienced with managing complex external partner relationships
  • able to manage budgets and grants with and experience of procurement and leading external grant funds
  • a confident communicator, good at working with a wide range of people both internally and externally
  • focused on giving a great service to your clients, using your skills to understand, influence, negotiate and find solutions
  • adept at managing your time, costs and quality with a busy and varied workload, with some experience of managing small projects
  • a champion of inclusion, who helps support everyone to feel welcome

The package

The National Trust has the motto 'For everyone, for ever' at its heart. We're working hard to create an inclusive culture, where everyone feels they belong. It's important that our people reflect and represent the diversity of the communities and audiences we serve. We welcome and value difference, so when we say we're for everyone, we want everyone to be welcome in our teams too.
