Sawmill Manager

“Entrepreneur who loves wood and who does not want to work in an office”.

Winton Estate, half an hour from Edinburgh, has over 800 acres of mixed woodland. We’re looking for a creative sawmiller to join the forestry team to enable profitable, sustainable forestry by adding value to the harvested timber. A century of three growth suggests something special inside.

Job outline
Plans to extend the existing firewood processing means there is a vacancy for a manager to implement this and to develop an intermediate scale mill linked directly to the woods. It’s your job to get the most out of harvested timber with an experienced eye for what lies beneath the bark. You are running an enterprise with
ambition and will be handling more than just the timber.

Management experience is needed to size up, refine and improve the existing processing business (currently c500 tonnes of firewood and c300 tonnes chipwood) and plan the milling work.
