Job description

Sheffield & Rotherham Wildlife Trust are recruiting for a Water Team Project Officer to join our Wildscapes team.

We are looking for a Water Team Project Officer to become part of a new team who are genuinely shaping the organisation in ensuring our activities reflect and support the aims of the CIC and the wider Wildlife Trust.

This role will support the delivery of the District Level Licencing (DLL) contract and other water/wetland focussed contracts, through each stage of the project, ensuring work is delivered to an excellent standard in order to continue positive working relationships and secure the renewal of project funding year to year. Support the Water Contract Manager (WCM) and Senior Water Team Officer (SWTO) in delivering the DLL project across all contracted regions, as well as wider projects across the Water Team and the Land Team within Wildscapes CIC.

Coordinate, alongside the SWTO and WCM, the three phases of project delivery (pre-works, delivery phase, and post-work monitoring and management) including pre-site checks, surveys, client and stakeholder liaison, site design and management, management of sub-contractors and Wildscapes casuals. Core services include pond creation and restoration, natural flood management, wetland creation, stock fencing and terrestrial habitat and practical conservation works. Cross-team delivery will be required at points throughout the year, depending on the nature of the projects and demand on the CIC overall.
