Are you passionate about marine conservation and coastal resilience? We are seeking a Marine Project Manager to lead a transformative programme tackling the impacts of climate change on coastal and marine ecosystems.
Funded by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), Coastal Monitoring and Adaptation Planning (CMAP) is a €9.6M, cross-border project, led by Ulster University, that will help create sustainable adaptation to the threats posed by climate change and provide decision-makers and stakeholders at the coast with information on the nature of coastal change.
You’ll lead the delivery of Ulster Wildlife’s work focusing on restoring vital blue carbon habitats – including saltmarshes, intertidal flats and sub-tidal seagrass habitats. You will manage a small team, overseeing fieldwork and monitoring, and coordinating stakeholder collaboration across public bodies, researchers, NGOs and local communities. A key highlight will be the development of Belfast’s Urban Marine Living Lab – an innovative hub showcasing nature-based coastal solutions and engaging the public in hands-on marine restoration.
This is an exciting opportunity to shape marine policy and practice by generating cutting-edge evidence, managing on-the-ground restoration, and contributing to the development of best-practice for future coastal recovery.
We’re looking for someone with strong scientific, technical and leadership skills – and a drive to make a lasting impact on our coastal future.
Apply now to be at the forefront of marine and coastal ecosystem recovery in Northern Ireland and beyond.
