Countryside Works Team Leader Hours Full time, permanent Location Site based across Wales and beyond, with travel and occasional overnight stays Reports to Operations Manager, Managing Director About EnviroCulture EnviroCulture is an environmental land management business based in West Wales, working across Wales and beyond. We deliver high quality, practical environmental work that protects habitats, improves landscapes and creates long term positive outcomes for both nature and people, including improving access to and connection with the natural environment. Our work takes us into some of the most varied and beautiful environments in the country, places many people never get to see, let alone work in. Being trusted to work in these landscapes is something we take seriously. We care about doing things properly. Quality matters in how work is planned, how it is delivered on site, and how we work together as a team. We focus on real impact rather than shortcuts, and we aim to leave the environments and communities we work with better than we found them. What it is like working at EnviroCulture People who work at EnviroCulture are part of something bigger than individual jobs. Working here means being involved in meaningful environmental work with visible, real world impact.

Work will include countryside infrastructure, environmental civils, vegetation management, woodland works and grounds maintenance, often within sensitive landscapes and challenging environments. You will be trusted to use your experience, judgement and leadership skills while working within a team that values preparation, safety, quality and doing things properly. The work can be physically demanding and conditions can change, but for people who take pride in well delivered work and well managed sites, it is also highly rewarding. Our Values How we work matters as much as what we deliver. Our NATURE values guide decisions on site, in planning and in how teams work together. Nurture the environment We care for the landscapes we work in and aim to leave sites better than we found them. Accountability We take responsibility for our work, our teams and the outcomes we deliver.

This role exists to ensure that countryside infrastructure, vegetation management and environmental land management works are delivered safely, efficiently and to a consistently high standard. As Countryside Works Team Leader, you sit at the point where plans meet reality on site. You will take agreed work packages and lead their delivery, coordinating people, plant, equipment and materials to ensure work is completed properly and in line with safety, environmental and quality requirements.

This is a site based, physically active role, working outdoors in all weather and often in remote or publicly accessible locations.
