The Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) has been the force behind gardening for more than 200 years. We believe everyone in every village, town and city should benefit from growing plants to enhance lives, build stronger, healthier, happier communities and create better places to live. We want to enrich everyone’s life through plants and make Britain a greener and more beautiful place.

Best known for our world-famous Flower Shows and our Gardens, our charitable work is diverse and includes connecting millions of children with nature through the RHS Campaign for School Gardening, managing RHS Britain in Bloom, Europe’s largest community gardening campaign, and conducting pioneering horticultural science research.

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the future; you will be the project lead at RHS Garden Bridgewater and RHS Garden Harlow Carr, responsible for delivering significant building and infrastructure projects to support the RHS’s wider vision. You’ll manage consultant teams, liaise with local partners, and ensure the projects are delivered professionally, on time, and to the highest standard.

What we are looking for

• An experienced professional with senior experience delivering major capital projects, RICS, CIOB or RIBA qualified or working towards a qualification.
• An excellent communicator, able to work collaboratively with a range of stakeholders.
• Comfortable working independently across two sites.
• Experience in the charity, heritage or environmental sectors is a bonus, but not essential.

The RHS offers extensive employee benefits and more details can be found here: https://www.rhs.org.uk/about-us/careers/what-we-can-offer

Safeguarding and Inclusion

The RHS is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults at risk and expects all personnel to share in this commitment. The RHS is an inclusive employer and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.

This is a unique opportunity to work in beautiful surroundings with a passionate, expert team. You’ll help deliver meaningful, long-term improvements for the visitors, staff and communities, while supporting one of the UK’s most respected charities.

If you're looking for a role where your professional skills will make a real difference, and you're as comfortable on site as you are in a planning meeting, we'd love to hear from you.
