As Project Officer, you’ll be responsible for delivering the project targets across a range of sites, working with the local team, national specialists, and our NRW and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park colleagues. You’ll be actively involved in overseeing the project targets, including working with external contractors, farmers, colleges, schools, volunteers, and communities from across the South Wales area, inspiring people to be involved in the Trust's exciting strategy ‘People and Nature, Thriving’.
