Leading on design, planning and delivery of ecologically ambitious restoration works at remote peatland sites across the region.
Acting as Project Manager for restoration construction sites
Managing contractors and applying Construction Design & Management (CDM) Regulations 2015
Developing restoration plans using field survey data and GIS tools (QGIS/QField)
Managing budgets (up to £1m annually) and overseeing contractor payments
Leading stakeholder engagement, including landowners, farmers, and public bodies
Ensuring high-quality delivery, compliance, and health & safety standards
Supporting monitoring, research projects, and training activities
Collaborating across a wide partnership of environmental organisations

What we are looking for:

Essential:

A strong foundation of ecological expertise and field skills.
Understanding of peatland, wetland or upland ecology
Experience delivering nature conservation or land management projects
Strong contract and contractor management experience
Competence in GIS for site assessment and survey
Experience engaging and negotiating with land managers and stakeholders

Desirable:

Degree in a Natural Science (or equivalent experience)
Knowledge of health & safety and construction compliance
Experience applying CDM regulations
SMSTS / SSSTS certification
Ability to manage budgets and project delivery

What's in it for you:

We know our people drive our success — so we’re committed to offering an excellent range of benefits, including:

Generous holiday allowance + bank holidays
Discretionary bonus
Competitive contributory pension
Share-save scheme
Health benefits & wellbeing support programmes
Group discounts
Cycle to Work scheme
Financial support services
Development and training opportunities
… and much more!

Closing Date: 23rd August 2026, with interviews week commencing 1st September.

Interviews will be held at DNPA offices at Parke, Bovey Tracey.

We may close this vacancy early if we receive a high volume of applications. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

Please note that the successful candidate will be subject to a mandatory DBS check as part of the onboarding process.

Be yourself, we like it that way. Together, we will build a culture of belonging, where inclusion is instinctive. Diversity is our strength and a reflection of our communities. We care, we value everyone, we celebrate uniqueness.

Our core values, which are essential to our success, are:

Be Rock Solid - Build trust and be trusted. Be the one we all look to and can depend on.
