Eden Project has announced two new crucial senior positions: Head of Site and Horticulture Curator, both to play major roles in shaping the new Eden Project Morecambe, one of the UK’s most exciting visitor attractions in development set to open in 2028.
The charity’s newly created Head of Site will be responsible for the operational heartbeat of Eden Project Morecambe – tasked to drive commercial success, champion operational excellence, contribute to strategic planning and support the overall site development.
This pivotal leadership position will oversee Eden Project Morecambe’s natural and built environments that shape the £100 million world class visitor destination with a focus on unearthing the wonders of the natural world. They will also be responsible for designing proactive strategies so that people and communities from Morecambe and Lancashire are engaged throughout, working closely with stakeholders from across the region.
With the Eden Project’s primary focus on the natural world, the new Horticulture Curator position will provide an opportunity for those with specialist horticultural expertise to provide strategic leadership for the gardens, landscapes and living collections. They will uphold the charity’s exceptional horticultural standards, championing sustainability and biosecurity.
This dream horticulturalist role will develop the ambitious horticultural plans for Eden Project Morecambe as it becomes a theatre for nature, much like the celebrated Eden Project in Cornwall renowned for its iconic Rainforest and Mediterranean Biomes – among other unmissable exhibits drawing over 25 million visitors over the last 25 years.
Different from Eden Project Cornwall, the new Eden Project Morecambe will feature two uniquely designed shell inspired structures overlooking and complimenting the stunning Morecambe Bay. The Realm of the Sun and the Realm of the Moon structures will showcase the rhythms of the natural world told through mesmerising storytelling, art installations, interactive exhibits, performances and striking plants and gardens.
Eden Project Morecambe is projected to boost tourism, create jobs, provide educational and training opportunities, promote environmental awareness, and be part of the regeneration of Morecambe’s seafront driving an economic benefit locally and for the North West.
The two new roles will join the Project Director and the growing Eden Project Morecambe team based at Morecambe Town Hall, with candidates expected to bring a proven track record of delivery and innovation.
John Pye, Eden Project Morecambe’s Project Director, expressed his excitement for the recruitment of important new roles.
He said: “Eden Project Morecambe requires talented, highly skilled people who are passionate about playing their part in shaping a new world-class destination the UK can be proud of.”
“The depth of local talent and capability in Morecambe and the surrounding area is exceptional, and we are eager to hear directly from people here or encourage them to share these roles across their networks.
“As a charity focused on delivering impact, we’re offering these transformational job opportunities and want candidates from the local area and across the North West to grab their chance to apply.
“We truly hope people with the right skills and experience living locally or within reach in the region step forward. Now really is the most exciting time to join the Eden Project Morecambe team!”
Eden Project is working in partnership with Lancaster City Council, Lancashire County Council and Lancaster University and is supported by UK Government investment to deliver a project that is on track to fully open in 2028.
Eden Project Morecambe is being delivered by the world-renowned educational charity Eden Project being celebrated this year through the 25th‑anniversary of the Eden Project in Cornwall, which has generated £6.8 billion in total economic impact to the South West since opening in 2001.
