Jobs in Lomond, West Dunbartonshire

We’re looking for a delivery-focused professional who knows how to turn plans into action. Whether your background is in electrical engineering, infrastructure, or sustainability, you’ll bring strong technical understanding and a desire to apply it to real-world climate challenges. You’ll be confident managing complex projects, while keeping a clear focus on outcomes, and just as comfortable getting into technical detail as you are communicating progress to senior leaders and engaging others along the way.

This is a chance to lead real, visible climate action, turning ambition into delivery across a diverse public estate. You’ll drive the Mission Zero Route Map, delivering a multi-year programme of decarbonisation across buildings, infrastructure, and fleet. Ideal for an electrical engineer or experienced programme manager ready to step into the green economy, the role offers the opportunity to apply your expertise in low-carbon systems, energy efficiency and renewables, while expanding into climate adaptation and sustainability strategy in one of the world’s most iconic landscapes.

Responsibilities:

· Lead delivery of the organisation’s Mission Zero Route Map, a multi-year programme of decarbonisation across the National Park Authority’s estate and fleet.

· Plan and implement agreed climate adaptation measures across estate assets, including offices, visitor centres, ranger bases, piers, slipways, car parks and public greenspaces.

· Develop and maintain a robust monitoring and reporting framework for Mission Zero, supporting statutory climate reporting requirements and producing regular performance reports.

· Identify and manage resources, budgets and personnel, including internal teams, consultants, and contractors, to deliver decarbonisation and adaptation projects, using approved procurement processes.

· Undertake any other duties appropriate to the grade as required.

Who we are looking for:

Your skills, abilities and experience should include:

• Proven experience managing complex programmes or projects, ideally in decarbonisation, renewable energy, low-carbon infrastructure or estate management.

• Experience delivering climate adaptation or sustainability initiatives in a public or private sector environment.

• Track record of budget management, procurement and oversight of contractors or consultants.

• Experience leading cross-functional teams and coordinating multiple stakeholders.

• Strong project and programme management skills, including planning, monitoring and reporting progress against objectives.

• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills, able to engage staff and board members.

• Ability to analyze technical and operational data to inform decision-making.

• Degree or equivalent professional experience in engineering, environmental sciences, sustainability, or a related discipline.

Ideally, but not essentially, you’ll also have:

• Experience specifically in electrical engineering, renewable energy systems or energy efficiency projects.

• Experience working within or with public sector organisations.

• Familiarity with statutory climate reporting duties.

• Experience with carbon accounting and environmental performance monitoring.

• Knowledge of climate finance, grants, or funding mechanisms for climate-related projects

• Professional membership or accreditation in relevant engineering or sustainability bodies (e.g. Chartered Engineer, CEng; Chartered Environmentalist, CEnv).

• Knowledge of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015
