ELGT is looking to employ a practical, site-focused Greenspace Projects Officer to help deliver a wide range of environmental and landscape projects — from parks and active travel routes to habitat creation and woodland works.

You will spend a significant amount of time on site, working with contractors, solving problems and keeping projects moving.

You might be working in landscaping, construction, or environmental delivery already — and looking for a role with more purpose and variety.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supervising contractors on site – monitoring quality, progress and performance
• Coordinating works and solving on-site issues to keep projects on track
• Supporting project planning, design development and programming
• Checking drawings, specifications and works on the ground
• Supporting contract admin, snagging and project handover
• Monitoring health & safety and compliance on site
• Working with councils, partners and communities

Who this role would suit:

Essential:

• Experience in landscaping, construction, or land-based project delivery
• Strong site supervision or contractor coordination experience
• Experience working to drawings, specifications and programmes
• Good understanding of health & safety on site
• Confidence dealing with contractors and resolving issues

Desirable:

• Green infrastructure or habitat project experience
• Public sector or funded project experience
• Relevant H&S qualifications (IOSH/SSSTS/SMSTS)

In addition to the above, you should have a Driving license and access to a vehicle will be required. There may also be occasional evening or weekend work.
