Building and Site Maintenance

Royal Gunpowder Mills, Beaulieu Dr, Waltham Abbey, England EN9 1JY

There are varied tasks involved in looking after the 170 acre heritage site, its buildings and exhibitions. Assist with projects, repairs, decorating etc.

The Royal Gunpowder Mills is a 170 acre site protected for its industrial heritage and natural history. Almost the whole site is classed as a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) and is designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).

We open to the public to share the exhibitions and offer tours and activities. We run a schools programme that fits with the history of the site and the National Curriculum. We offer hire space and interesting environments for filming.

The charity's aims are to protect, preserve and enhance the special aspects of the site and to share the story of the industrial and social history, the science and the nature.

The site has many buildings in varying conditions, open grass land and woodland. It is important to keep the visitor area tidy and safe, views need to be maintained for tours and walks, buildings require constant maintenance and exhibitions and activities created and kept in good order. This work involves a wide variety of tasks, and ranges from basic to skilled.

Help with routine tasks or new projects and put your skills, time and energy to good use.

We do not expect you to take on all the tasks listed, but if you think you can help with one or two we will be keen to hear from you.
