Stonemason

Thank you for your interest in the post of Stonemason with Historic Environment Scotland. This post is based at our Perth Depot and is a permanent and pensionable appointment.

You will be part of one of nine Monument Conservation Units based throughout Central & West Scotland, tasked with the conservation, maintenance and presentation works at monuments within their areas. The Monument Conservation Units (MCU) are based throughout Central Scotland and consist of stonemasons, joiners, painters, gardeners, labourers and apprentices of varying trades. The teams are headed by Works Managers who have direct line management responsibilities for the whole team.

As a Stonemason in our Perth Depot, you will have responsibility for the on-going conservation and maintenance and preservation of masonry at Historic Environment Scotland monuments within your area which include Dunkeld Cathedral, Stanley Mills, Elcho Castle and Huntingtower Castle. You will help train and instruct apprentices in all aspects of the trade and provide information and instruction to support staff as required. You may also be asked to be involved in showing masonry skills at open days.
