We’re looking for a proactive and well-organised Project Manager to lead a transformative project across Essex Wildlife Trust’s Nature Discovery Centres and nature reserves. You’ll deliver signage and interpretation that helps our sites be true gateways to experiencing nature - boosting brand awareness, enhancing the visitor experience and inspiring a greater connection to nature. 

This role is central to our Strategy 2030, helping to create places of wonder and inspire 1 in 4 people in Essex to take action for nature and climate. You’ll manage all stages of the project from inception to completion, working with stakeholders across our sites and with Fundraising and Communications to secure funding and create engaging content.

This is the most important decade in the history of nature conservation and an exciting time to be joining us. We need the best people to rally around and help tackle the climate and ecological crisis. You will be joining a brilliant team of experienced Project Managers and will be working closely with experts in their field across conservation, engagement and commercial teams. If you’re a strong project manager with a passion for nature and visitor engagement, this is your chance to make a real impact.

This role is a two-year fixed-term position working 22.5 hours per week with a starting salary of £21,088 per annum. We welcome applications from a range of sectors and transferable skills. This is a two-year contract, but with a portfolio of projects needed to deliver our ambitious Strategic Plan 2030, there is likely to be future opportunities beyond this contract. 

If you would like an informal chat about the role, please do feel free to contact hannahs@essexwt.org.uk

To apply, please complete the online application form on our website by 9am on Thursday 12 June 2025. Interviews will be held on Wednesday 18 June 2025 at Abbotts Hall (online option available).
