Tech Intern

Keep a small team moving fast

Full time

We are looking for someone who loves technology and loves helping other people do their best work with it. Around fifty of us look after tens of thousands of acres and a portfolio worth over £400m, and great technology is what makes that possible.

As our Tech Intern you’ll do two things. You’ll keep the team equipped and unblocked, running the ticket queue, giving genuinely good one-to-one support, and making sure nobody loses a day to something that should have taken ten minutes. And you’ll build: the systems, integrations and automations that let a small team have a disproportionate impact. What’s more, you’ll work with every part of the business, which means you’ll understand it faster than anyone.

About You

Environment

• A love for the natural world and rural environment, and a commitment to its ecological restoration.
• Excited by what technology makes possible for a business restoring landscapes at scale, and keen to be part of building it.

Impact

• Technically capable and genuinely curious. You enjoy working things out, and you will build the solutions that save your colleagues hours every week.
• Some experience with scripting, automation, integrations or low-code tooling, or a clear appetite to develop it.
• Fluent and enthusiastic about AI tools and interested in where they genuinely increase leverage.

Adventure

• Happy working across a wide and unpredictable range of challenges and opportunities.
• Excited to get out to our estates and see first-hand the places and the people our technology supports.
• Ready to try out completely new technology: you love checking out the latest local LLMs, GitHub repos and are always experimenting to find the best possible technology.

Together

• Patient and genuinely helpful with colleagues at every level of technical confidence.
• A clear communicator who can explain anything technical to anyone, whatever their level of confidence.
• You love helping people, and you see every request through until your colleague is genuinely up and running.
• And let’s be honest, you have to be really kind too. Sharing snacks on long journeys or a packed lunch in the driving rain is mandatory!

We believe in recruiting exceptional people and creating opportunities that allow you to do incredible things. You don’t need to tick every box above, and you don’t need to look or sound a certain way to belong here. We are committed to building a genuinely diverse team drawn from across the country, with a wide range of lived and learnt experiences. It doesn’t matter what point in your career you are at, what school you went to, or whether you have a degree or not. We want exceptional people with a desire to make a difference.

What We’d Love You To Do

IT Support

Own the ticket queue and provide responsive one-to-one support across the team, resolving issues properly first time.

Equipment and Accounts

Keep the team equipped with hardware, accounts, access and onboarding, so everyone is able to do their best work.

Systems Building

Help build out new apps and improve our internal systems, integrations and automations, increasing what a small team can deliver. Use our Cloudflare & GitHub platforms together with AI coding agents to build fast and with quality.

AI Enablement

Help colleagues adopt AI tools well and build the workflows that make them genuinely useful day to day.

Documentation

Write the guidance, and make it easily accessible, so people can solve some problems themselves.

Security and Good Practice

Support sensible security practice across the team, including how we handle data.

Your resource pack

• Your Working Environment Most of our roles, unless site specific allow you the freedom to work from anywhere in the country, should you need help with this we too will be there to support.

• Tools to perform We will ensure you are provided with the equipment you need to be incredible in your role.

Application Process

1. Apply This is the first step to becoming part of the team. Simply click the ‘Apply Now’ button to complete our application form, and show us how awesome you are! CV’s are needed, but on their own we don’t feel they tell us enough about who you really are. So, we have listed just a couple of questions to allow us to learn more about you.
2. Opportunity to Shine If your application is successful a member (or two) of the team will have an introductory call with you, to answer any initial questions you may have. After which, if successful, we will set an exciting role specific challenge for you to complete in advance of your interview. An opportunity for us to see you shine.
3. Interview We hate for this part to be too corporate and regimented. Instead, we will have a relaxed conversation to get to know one another, an opportunity to ask questions and learn more. We recognise that this process is two way and that you will be interviewing us perhaps even more than we will be interviewing you – we promise that it won’t be a dull process.
4. Decision If our passion for what we do aligns with yours and we think you’ll be a great addition, we will invite you to join our growing team. If you love what you’ve learnt we hope you will accept, to be a part of our mission to Scale Conservation.
