About The Role

WWT use a wide range of activities and interdisciplinary research to restore wetlands in the Cambodian Lower Mekong Delta. Specifically, WWT has long-terms projects to conserve remnants of seasonally inundated grassland in Boeung Prek Lapov and Anlung Pring Protected Landscape. Over the last ten years WWT have worked alongside local partners to develop strategic conservation management plans to address threats and restore habitats – particularly as these are two of the last remaining feeding grounds of the vulnerable Sarus crane.

As our Project Coordinator you will act as the central coordinator for the Cambodia Projects, with key functions to include team leadership, budgeting and financial management, planning, monitoring, and reporting, health and safety, safeguarding, stakeholder relations, quality control for technical outputs and liaison with WWT colleagues in Cambodia and the UK. You will also deputise for the Senior Project Manager as the Scientific Coordinator when required.

About You

a Master of Science or equivalent professional experience in a relevant subject, eg, environmental science, biology, geography, hydrology or project management
substantial work experience in project management, ideally in the environmental sector and preferably related to wetlands
proven experience of managing grants of tens of thousand USD per year
the ability to work independently and with professional competence, often away in isolated conditions
the ability to collaborate with and influence a wide range of stakeholders, both internally and externally, to deliver outcomes and ensure WWT objectives are met.
excellent communication skills – verbally, visually and in writing in English and Khmer

This role requires the ability to travel to and work at our field sites Boeung Prek Lapov and Anlung Pring so a current car driving licence is essential.
