Job description
Opportunity for a Forest Certification Manager to join our Environment Team to assist with the management of the company's dual certified group scheme and chain of custody. In line with UKWAS, the successful applicant will be expected to set and maintain high standards by undertaking internal company-wide audits, raising and closing corrective actions, and being involved in external audits. A significant part of the role is providing support to staff in all matters relating to Forest Certification. With offices across Scotland and North England, location can be flexible, and remote working may be possible; however, a presence in a regional office will be required.
Applicants should have:
- A professional and confident approach to work.
- Ability to work to tight deadlines and targets.
- Self-motivated with exceptional attention to detail.
- An eagerness to take on diverse challenges, from planning to execution.
- Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills.
- Sound knowledge of UKWAS and Silviculture.
- A willingness to travel throughout the UK and Ireland.
A Forestry qualification at HND level or above is preferred; however, candidates with related land-based qualifications and/or experience are also encouraged to apply. Since this role involves site visits to remote locations, a full valid driver’s licence is essential. Professional membership of the ICF or progressing towards attaining chartered status would be desirable.
Scottish Woodlands offer:
An attractive salary and benefits package commensurate with experience, company vehicle, generous pension scheme, life assurance, permanent health insurance, private health care, bonus scheme, and the opportunity for equity participation. The company is 80% owned by staff. Applicants will also be given excellent personal and career development opportunities and will be part of a highly professional, motivated team.
