The UK government has committed to a target of net zero carbon emissions by 2050, and due to this, our work programmes have increased significantly. Scottish Woodlands is seeking to engage enthusiastic professionals with a passion for harvesting operations who can offer a fresh and visionary way of thinking. As a key member of a high-performing team operating in a competitive and commercial environment, we are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic, and self-motivated individual with relevant harvesting and marketing experience.
The Role…
Based out of our Melrose office, key duties will include working closely with our existing clients and customers, as well as developing new business. To be successful in this role, you will need an in-depth understanding of timber marketing, standing sale assessments, site planning, harvesting systems, and working with contractors. You should be capable of working with our existing timber harvesting team and other Forest Management colleagues on existing client properties.
Demonstrable operational experience and the ability to work on your own initiative are essential, as you will need to work under pressure in a fast-paced environment. Forestry qualifications are advantageous but not a prerequisite. This position may also suit someone with an environmental, geography, agricultural, or rural surveying qualification, or relevant practical experience. You should have a professional acumen, be commercially aware, and possess excellent communication and organizational skills. Experience of contract/project management and health and safety management are also essential for the role.
Scottish Woodlands offer …
An attractive salary and benefits package commensurate with experience, including a company vehicle, generous pension scheme, life assurance, permanent health insurance, private healthcare, and the opportunity for equity participation.
The company, recently ranked 76/100 among Scotland’s top private companies and 80% owned by staff, offers excellent personal and career development opportunities and is part of a highly professional, motivated team.
