You will play a vital role in tackling both the Climate Emergency and biodiversity crisis through planning and delivering the restoration of peatland habitats across your Region. Many areas have been modified by past management, and your role will be to restore existing Blanket Bogs, Lowland Raised Bogs, and afforested peatlands. Restoring peatlands is valuable, not just in reducing emissions, but also improving biodiversity, water quality, and even reducing the risk and severity of flooding in some catchments.
You will work as part of a Regional delivery team, to manage all stages of the restoration process on a number of project areas each year. Working with the wider regional team of foresters, and national team of peatland restoration staff, you will prepare site restoration plans, procure and oversee management of contractors and monitor and report on progress. You will ensure the work is carried out in a safe, environmentally sustainable, legally compliant and efficient manner.
