Do you want to live and work amidst some of Scotland’s most breathtaking forest associations? Do you have a passion for forest management and a desire to contribute to the conservation and development of our natural heritage?
RTS Forestry is excited to announce an opportunity for a dedicated and experienced Woodland Manager to join our growing team in Inverurie.
This role offers a fantastic opportunity for those looking to take the next significant step in their career in terms of forest management responsibilities and the opportunity to work with a high degree of independence after an initial period of support from our seasoned senior managers.
As a Woodland Manager in RTS, you’ll be entrusted with the care and management of long-established woodlands, many of which present unique silvicultural challenges as they transition to lower-intensity systems. Your work will take you regularly into the stunning Cairngorm National Park, and our portfolio includes five Native Pinewoods. When the opportunity arises, you’ll also collaborate closely with our harvesting team to ensure compliance with the UK Woodland Assurance Standard (UKWAS).
In addition to managing existing woodlands, this role offers the chance to develop new woodland creation projects, supported by various grants and initiatives such as compensatory planting and the Woodland Carbon Code. You’ll also be involved in conducting woodland impact assessments through consultancy services, particularly in the energy and transmission sectors, ensuring all relevant regulations are met and maintaining strong relationships with clients and stakeholders.
At RTS Forestry, we value the unique skills and talents of each team member. We’re committed to supporting your professional growth, including assisting you in gaining membership in the Institute of Chartered Foresters or other relevant professional bodies. We also encourage continued training in areas that align with your specific interests.
If you’re ready for a new challenge and want to make a meaningful impact on Scotland’s woodlands, we’d love to have you on our team. Apply today to join a group of like-minded professionals who are as passionate about sustainable forest management as you are.
Additional company benefits such as:
- Private health care
- Pension contribution
- Up to 31 days of holidays
- Participation in the company’s annual bonus scheme
