Job descriptionWe’re looking for a Forest Liaison Officer (FLO) to join our Infrastructure Project Management Team within South Region. You’ll be based in Newton Stewart, Dalbeattie, Dumfries or Ae.
Our teams play a vital role in managing Scotland’s national forests and land, delivering sustainable timber production, enhancing biodiversity, creating recreation opportunities and supporting Scotland’s renewable energy and net zero ambitions. The Infrastructure Project Management Team works closely with foresters, planners, engineers, environmental advisers and developers to help accommodate and manage utility, renewable energy and other infrastructure developments across the national forests and land. Through this work, the team ensures infrastructure projects are successfully integrated with wider forestry and land management objectives.

You’ll be confident building positive relationships with a wide range of colleagues, stakeholders and regulators, with strong communication, facilitation and engagement skills. You should be well organised, able to manage competing priorities and comfortable working collaboratively with both internal and external partners.
