Here at the F&WHR, we are starting delivery of a major National Lottery funded project that will provide interpretation across the railway, develop skills and conserve historic buildings at Boston Lodge. This is an exciting time, following the recent World Heritage Site announcement, with which the project has close links and shared ambitions to make a positive impact in the area.

If you would like to play your part in the project, these current job opportunities may be of interest:

We are looking for a part-time Construction Project Manager with experience of construction, including conservation to support the delivery of the construction phase of the project by providing day-to-day contact with the contractor on site and liaising with Boston Lodge Staff to keep the site operational.

This would particularly suit someone familiar with both heritage railways and with construction project management who is able visit site most days.

🔵 WORKS ADMINISTRATION TRAINEE

We are looking for a Works Administration Trainee with qualifications at A-level or NVQ 3, to work in an engineering environment and gain experience in what is required behind the scenes to keep a large engineering works running smoothly.

They will work with the Boston Lodge Works Administrator and must have good organisational and IT skills, good written and verbal communication skills, an interest in engineering, and the ability to speak Welsh would be desirable.
