Are you a talented individual with drive, enthusiasm and ambition, with a passion for
the outdoors and ready to grow a sustainable career? If so, we are recruiting for
a combined management and ecology role within our Utilities Division.
This position is based in our Perth office in Central Scotland. Forestry is a growing

Applicants should have a BSc, HND or equivalent qualification in Forestry, Environmental
Science, Ecology, Geography or similar; good interpersonal skills; the ability to work on own

Previous experience in environmental/protected species-surveys is desirable, alongside bird,

Environmental Management Plans (FEMPs) and site planning and operational maps to client
satisfaction; supervision of forestry works associated with powerlines or
railway infrastructure to ensure compliance with health and safety and environmental best
practice and legislation; carrying out basic site set-up and giving pre-start briefs to site
teams; and carrying out pre-operational environmental/ecological surveys, e.g., for protected
species.
Candidates must have a current driving licence. Please note that travel and staying away is a
