The BLRS (formerly the British Land Reclamation Society incorporating the National Land Reclamation Panel of the Local Authorities) is seeking to appoint a part time self employed Development Officer to help the Management Committee develop and grow the Society.
The Society was established in 1992 and merged with the NLRP in 2008 to further enhance its work and reputation. The Society is truly multidisciplinary representing most professions involved in land reclamation and broader regeneration.
We now seek an individual with an active interest in the subject and the vision to help us grow to our next stage. It is envisaged that the role will initially be for 1-2 days per week for a 6 month period to allow the Development Officer and Management Committee to assess the growth potential for the Society.
Good contacts/networks within the brownfield reclamation and regeneration industry are vital to the success of the role.

Having had two recent visits to large regeneration schemes (Longbridge and Waverley); the summer BLRS visit will focus on land and ecological restoration after mineral working in Hertfordshire, hosted by Hertfordshire County Council (HCC), Viridor Waste Management and Lafarge Aggregates. HCC's Restoration Manager, Andy McIntosh, will guide us with the respective site owners around two quite different sites. It is very much an outdoor, walk and talk visit.
