North Sea Marine Planning Officer

Yorkshire Wildlife Trust is one of the UK’s fastest growing nature conservation organisations
and seeks to appoint a North Sea Marine Planning Officer. As the Trust seeks to significantly
enhance our influence in the marine planning system, this is a rare opportunity for an

The role will lead on responses to marine development applications, with a focus on large scale
infrastructure projects in the North Sea region (largely associated with energy development).
The post holder will build robust connections with the relevant networks, developers, advisory
groups, individuals and other relevant contacts.

Our ideal candidate will have knowledge of marine planning policy and the planning consent
process and experience of responding to and influencing large scale energy and/or
infrastructure development applications. They will be experienced networkers, used to
negotiating with a wide range of partners to build consensus. The candidate will be highly
organised, and able to analyse significant technical documentation with particular attention to
detail.
