Greenspace Projects Officer

Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust (‘ELGT’)

Salary: ELGT Salary Grade 2 - £29,157 to £34,879 (dependent on experience) + 8% employer pension contribution

Contract term: Full-time, 35 hours per week (although we will consider 28-hour week for the ideal candidate).

Location: Edinburgh (site-based role with office base at ELGT’s Swanston office)

Closing date: 5pm on Monday 20th July 2026

Interview date: Wednesday 29th July 2026 at ELGT’S offices at Swanston

The Opportunity

ELGT is looking to employ a practical, site-focused Greenspace Projects Officer to help deliver a wide range of environmental and landscape projects — from parks and active travel routes to habitat creation and woodland works.

You will spend a significant amount of time on site, working with contractors, solving problems and keeping projects moving.

You might be working in landscaping, construction, or environmental delivery already — and looking for a role with more purpose and variety.

Key responsibilities include:

· Supervising contractors on site – monitoring quality, progress and performance

· Coordinating works and solving on-site issues to keep projects on track

· Supporting project planning, design development and programming

· Checking drawings, specifications and works on the ground

· Supporting contract admin, snagging and project handover

· Monitoring health & safety and compliance on site

· Working with councils, partners and communities

Who this role would suit:

Essential:

· Experience in landscaping, construction, or land-based project delivery

· Strong site supervision or contractor coordination experience

· Experience working to drawings, specifications and programmes

· Good understanding of health & safety on site

· Confidence dealing with contractors and resolving issues

Desirable:

· Green infrastructure or habitat project experience

· Public sector or funded project experience

· Relevant H&S qualifications (IOSH/SSSTS/SMSTS)

In addition to the above, you should have a Driving license and access to a vehicle will be required. There may also be occasional evening or weekend work.

Tel: 0131 445 4025 or email [email protected]

Please complete and return the application form by 5pm on Monday 20th July 2026 to [email protected]
