Job description

We’re looking for Forest Planners to join our planning and environment team in both our South and East Regions (please see Job Description and Success Profile for further information)

The planning and environment teams work closely with other teams and specialists to design sustainable forests of the future, protect and restore semi-natural habitats, respond to climate change and enhance our landscapes. The teams prepare spatial plans, develop work programmes and coordinate and manage data and surveys, as well as contribute to national initiatives and projects to ensure the public land is well cared for.

To be successful, you’ll be qualified to degree or HND level in Forestry or an equivalent. You’ll also require demonstrable knowledge and experience of forest operations and building strong working relationships with both internal colleagues and external stakeholders and regulators. Although previous experience in spatial planning of forestry or analysing spatial information would be advantageous, is not essential.

Please click here to view the full list of benefits of working for us.

If this sounds like a role you’re interested in, we’d encourage you to apply with your CV – please ensure you provide evidence of the essential and desirable criteria detailed on the attached job description and success profile document.

Closing date: 25 May 2025
