FOREST MANAGER, LLANDRINDOD WELLS OR MARTLEY 

With woodland management and creation now firmly on the agenda in the rural sector, we are looking to grow and build our forestry team with the addition of a Forest Manager. Based out of our Head Office in the beautiful Welsh town of Llandrindod Wells or at our Martley office near Worcester, you will work as an influential part of a dedicated team of specialists. 

​

As a Forest Manager at Bronwin & Abbey, compared with more corporate forestry businesses, you’ll get a lot more freedom and autonomy to run your own projects, your way; to get the job done using your initiative. At the same time, you’ll have the backup of the rest of the team, and the wider support and security that comes with being part of Velcourt, the UK’s largest farm management company. It’s a refreshingly different way of working, that suits those with a ‘can do’ attitude and the determination to succeed for themselves, the company, and our valued landowner clients.

The remit of this role is wide and varied, managing your own projects and supporting on others, with the potential to get involved in an extensive range of exciting bespoke services including woodland creation and regeneration, timber harvesting and marketing, surveys and valuations and GIS mapping. 

​

Forestry experience and qualifications are advantageous, but not necessarily a pre-requisite. If you are currently in a role or have previously had training or experience in environmental, agricultural or rural surveying and want to get into the forestry sector, this could be a great move for you. 

​

We are looking for like-minded individuals with a professional mindset who are passionate about attention to detail. The ability to project manage, to identify and analyse problems and solutions, along with good communications and IT skills, are as important as technical knowledge. Full training will be given across a range of topics, with scope to develop specialist skills and to grow your career further within the company. 

​

The role includes:

​

• Budgeting & financial planning.

• Site inspections & work proposals.

• Delivering budgeted work programmes.

• Supervising & managing contractors.

• Writing & negotiating grant applications in both England & Wales.

• Report writing.

We offer a comprehensive package which includes a competitive salary, contributory pension, health insurance, company car and a bonus scheme.
