DGA Forestry LLP is one of Scotland’s leading independent forestry consultants and managers, established in 1972.  We have a broad ranging portfolio of properties under management across the country and are currently seeking to recruit an experienced forest manager to join our team based in Dumfries.  This is a unique opportunity to join one of Scotland’s last remaining independent forestry firms and enjoy a rewarding and varied career in Scotland’s thriving commercial forestry sector.

Forest Manager

Depending on the level of experience and qualifications the forest manager’s role would initially be to assist the existing management team, but the successful candidate would be expected to quickly assume the management of a portfolio of client’s properties across Scotland.  This post offers the successful applicant the opportunity to develop their role within an independent professional firm and in time to make an increasing contribution to the development of the business.

Applicants for the post should hold relevant academic qualifications or have a proven track record in forest management and supervision; have sound practical skills; excellent communication skills; and a good level of IT competence.  A UK driving licence is essential.  The successful candidate will be capable of working to a high level on their own and as part of a team applying high professional and silvicultural standards to their work.

Salary and package are negotiable commensurate with experience and qualifications.
