Green Action Trust is Scotland’s leading environmental regeneration charity and a trusted delivery partner for the Scottish Government and a wide range of public, private, and non-profit stakeholders. We work at the forefront of climate action, biodiversity recovery and environmental regeneration, delivering projects that create socially centred and climate-resilient places across Scotland.

We are now seeking an experienced Senior Project Manager to join our motivated and multi-disciplinary team. In this role, you will lead the delivery of complex environmental improvement projects, with a particular focus on our Water Environment Fund (WEF) portfolio. Working from feasibility mapping, through delivery to completion, you will ensure projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the highest quality standards.

You’ll oversee procurement and contract management, collaborate with consultants and contractors, manage risk, project evaluation and reporting, and nurture positive relationships with diverse external partners, including SEPA, local authorities, funders, and community stakeholders. You will also provide guidance and support to Project and Development Officers involved in delivery, contributing to a culture of good practice, inclusion, learning, and continuous improvement.

This is an excellent opportunity for a confident, pragmatic project manager with experience in environmental or civil engineering project delivery and familiarity with public sector procurement.

In return, you will join a friendly, supportive organisation committed to sustainability, professional development, flexible working, and the wellbeing and inclusion of all colleagues.

Greener Kirkcaldy is a community-led charity working locally to bring people together, take positive action on the climate emergency and support people through fuel poverty and food insecurity. We deliver a range of projects, events and skills training to achieve the needs and goals of local people – building resilience as a community and working towards a future where everyone can live better and tread more lightly on our planet.

Based in the heart of Kirkcaldy – with a community building, training kitchen, bike shop and garden – we carry out activities across Kirkcaldy and work with partners to deliver projects across Fife.

Growing and connection with nature has central to our work since the beginning. Our community training garden at Ravenscraig Walled Garden is a vibrant space. It offers courses, training and volunteer opportunities in gardening and growing. It also includes a community orchard, with over 100 fruit trees and a ‘wild area’ that is set aside for nature.

As lead partner of Climate Action Fife, we work with others to help people to garden in climate-friendly ways. We’ve helped people to plant fruit trees and we recently created a demonstration climate-friendly garden at our community building garden in Kirkcaldy town centre. We are always looking for new opportunities to help local people connect with nature on their doorstep.

The Role

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate individual to lead and develop our growing and nature connection projects work.

As part of our Community Engagement Team, you will work with staff, volunteers and partners. You will plan and deliver a diverse range of events, training and volunteer opportunities around growing and nature. We are keen to strengthen our ‘Plot to Plate’ activities, so you will work with our Community Food Team to connect growing with cooking classes, meals and food access projects.

You will play a key role developing new projects and activities, both grant-funded and income generating. You will support a Community Garden Worker and an enthusiastic team of mixed-ability volunteers to maintain and develop our community gardens and coordinate day-to-day activities.

You don’t need to be an expert in climate change or biodiversity. We will provide training and you will be supported by a great team.
