With a range of research, consultancy and education services, the Scottish Agricultural College is not here just to pass on vital skills today, but also to bring innovation to Scotland’s land based industries for tomorrow.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an expanding group of environmental and design consultants working in the rural and peri-urban sectors.  Reporting to the Group Manager you will lead a team of consultants and have responsibility for all aspects of staff and project management and the achievement of business objectives.  Already an accomplished environmental or design consultant, you will be able to demonstrate a successful track record of leadership, relationship management and financial awareness.

You will need the experience and influence to help develop our excellence and profile in environmental management and design.  This will be combined with competencies in developing business strategies, translating these into clear objectives for your team to implement, and leading and delivering consultancy projects.

This role will allow you and your team to develop practical and innovative environmental and design solutions, drive the group’s development and potentially progress further within the organisation.
