The UK government has committed to a target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, resulting in an increasing interest in both existing forestry and new woodland creation.
Due to our growing work programmes, Scottish Woodlands is seeking to engage enthusiastic professionals across a number of key positions within the organisation. These are exciting opportunities to join our progressive teams to service both existing clients and our expanding business and to play a key role in shaping the future of forestry in the UK. Positions are typically located throughout Scotland and North England, and we are currently recruiting in our North East Scotland and South West Scotland Regions.
Forestry experience and qualifications are advantageous but not a pre-requisite. Relevant training can be provided across a range of topics for the right candidate. These positions may suit someone with an environmental, geography, agricultural or rural surveying background who wishes to enter the forestry sector. We are looking for people with professional acumen who are commercially aware and have a sound understanding of the rural sector. Excellent communication and organisation skills are required, together with the ability to identify, analyse and solve problems. Experience of working with contractors, project management, IT skills and health & safety are all highly desirable.
