**Job summary**:
Working at Forestry and Land Scotland is all about ‘People, Pride and Purpose.’ Join us and take pride in helping look after something incredibly valuable to the people of Scotland and its visitors - Scotland’s national forests and land.
Our South Region extends from the eastern Scottish Borders, across Dumfries and Galloway, to the Isle of Arran. It includes Galloway Forest Park, the UK’s largest forest park, as well as Scotland’s first Dark Sky Park, and first UNESCO Biosphere. There are visitor centres at Glentress, Glentrool, Clatteringshaws and Kirroughtree.
The planning and environment teams work closely with other teams and specialists to design sustainable forests of the future. Our forests and land deliver multiple benefits, often within the same space. Forest Liaison Officers (FLOs) play a key role in helping us realise renewable energy potential, bringing it together with our other objectives to deliver diverse and integrated land management.
If you’re interested, please see the job description and Success Profile document attached to the recruitment portal for a full role overview.
**Job description**:
**What you will do**
We accommodate a significant number of renewable energy developments (particularly wind farms),
utility projects and other third party developments on the land we manage. They often involve associated infrastructure such as access tracks, grid connections and ancillary equipment. In South Region there are six operational wind farms, several large scale interconnectors and a complex network of overhead and underground services. There are also other developments accessed over FLS land and over 30 projects at scoping, planning and construction stage. As a Forest Liaison Officer (FLO), you will be the main point of contact between an FLS Regional team, and developers and their contractors on day-to-day issues regarding these projects. You will also work closely with the national renewables team and regional estates team. You will liaise with colleagues to consider the impacts of the projects on the management of the forest and other land uses; help to support and integrate the projects into FLS wider land management, within the context of our Land Management Plans and organisational objectives; and ensure that development is compliant and sustainable.
In addition, you will engage with colleagues and external stakeholders to ensure third party activities are fully communicated and, as a result, integrated into our core activities.
