Land Management Operatives x3

Are you a passionate and enthusiastic individual looking for a new challenge?

Contract type: 1 x Permanent; 2 x Fixed Term for 12 months with a possibility of extension dependent upon funding
Location: The Old Ragged School, Brook Street, Nottingham, NG1 1EA
Salary: £24,390 - £27,681 pa
Hours: 37.5 hours per week

You will be mainly site based, with minimal requirement to come into the office. There will be travel required so a full driving licence is essential. EMEC is a growing business, with project delivery across the East Midlands and beyond.

We have an exciting opportunity for three Land Management Operatives to join our experienced and friendly Land Management team. You will be working on the delivery of habitat and site contracts in Nottinghamshire and the wider area. This will include grassland, woodland, scrub and wetland management, survey and monitoring activity and event delivery.

You’ll be someone who wants to make a difference and help nature’s recovery, with experience of delivering practical conservation and countryside management work. Work will include some travel and staying away from home, as well as work on difficult terrain and the use of heavy equipment, e.g. steep slopes and in inclement weather.

Let’s be honest, not all ecological consultancies are the same. We want to do the very best for nature and ALL of our profits are gift-aided to the Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust to support conservation directly on the ground.

Please do not include sensitive personal details such as your date of birth in your CV or cover letter.
