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 someone with a background in construction project management and interest in building conservation 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 ensure that the construction programme, budget and risks are effectively managed, working closely with other members of the project team, consultant design team, contractors and other specialists. You’ll also be happy providing project management support in the delivery of non-construction elements of the project.

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
