Project Manager - Guildford

Summary

In April 2015 a huge blaze gutted the house at Clandon Park, leaving it open to the skies. Our project seeks to bring the house back into use, creating a place to explore the history and making of a great house – you can find out more here.

We're looking for a project manager to join our team to deliver one of the biggest heritage projects the National Trust has ever tackled, and we’re bold and creative in our approach.

You’ll play a significant role in coordinating the planning and delivery of non-construction elements of the project including visitor experience, commercial and collections. You’ll also be happy providing project management support in the delivery of construction elements.

We're running an online conversation on 26th September and site open day on 1st October for potential applicants. For further information and to book your place please contact: Louise.Barcroft@nationaltrust.org.uk

Please note that the site open day has a limited number of places and is on a first come/first served basis.

Contract: Fixed Term – full-time up to 28/2/2028 with potential to extend

Interview Dates: First interview: 14th October; Second interview: 20th October

What it's like to work here

You’ll be part of a thriving professional project management community in the Trust who deliver millions of pounds worth of projects each year, helping to realise public benefit from our charitable funds.

Reporting to the Senior Project Manager (non-construction), you’ll welcome the chance to work with, and learn from, a passionate and collaborative team. This includes experienced project managers, curators, contractors, external consultants and specialists to ensure that the project is completed to a high standard.

We value diversity and we strongly encourage and welcome a wide range of applications across all identities and backgrounds.

We support hybrid working, including regular attendance on site as required, alongside working from home and from one of the Trust’s regional hubs.



What you'll be doing

  • Managing the coordinated delivery of the programme for non-construction elements and ensuring integration with the construction programme
  • Budget responsibility for elements of the non-construction programme
  • Financial and contract management
