Are you passionate about biodiversity, natural heritage and looking for a new adventure? Orkney Islands Council is seeking a dedicated Environmental Planner to join our Development and Marine Planning Team. This full-time role offers the chance to safeguard and enhance our beautiful islands' natural environment.

This role has a unique remit for both terrestrial and marine planning functions as the Team delivers both the Orkney Local Development Plan and the Orkney Islands Regional Marine Plan. There will be an opportunity to get involved in environmental enhancement project work alongside the development of environmental planning guidance, the completion of environmental assessments associated with our Plans and being the Council’s lead advisor on environmental matters.

As the Council’s Environmental Planner you will be the Council’s expert on the environmental legislation and regulations with particular regard to the Scottish Planning System.

Applicants should hold a qualification at SCQF Level 8/9 (i.e. SVQ4, HND, General Degree, Higher Apprenticeship or Technical Apprenticeship) in natural environment or a related discipline. Where the essential qualification is not held, applicants should have a minimum of 5 years’ previous relevant experience of working in the natural environment sector. Membership of the Chartered Institute of Ecology and Environment Management, or equivalent professional membership, is also essential.

You should be able to travel efficiently and effectively between work locations within Orkney to meet the operational requirements of the Service.

This post is subject to Level 1 Disclosure Scotland clearance.

Prospective applicants can discuss the post by contacting Susan Shearer, Service Manager, Development and Marine Planning by e-mail to susan.shearer@orkney.gov.uk or telephone 01856 873535.

About this company

Orkney Islands Council

View full company profile
Forget images of remote islands - Orkney is well served by superb modern transport links. Forget the idea of a few people in the middle of no-where - Orkney is home to over 20,000 people. Orkney may bring to mind certain images, but the chances are they are, to say the least, a little off the mark. Sure, we're a bit off the beaten track, but the needs of our community are just the same as anywhere else. And, as a result, the opportunities we can offer you are comparable with those you'll find elsewhere. Of course, there are a few differences: for starters Orkney consists of 100,000 hectares spread over 70+ small islands (19 of which are inhabited), so, like our service users, you'll need to make the most of the transportation links which are vital to Orkney's social and economic well-being. Orkney Islands Council may be the smallest local authority in Scotland, but we can offer some big challenges. And big opportunities. This could be your big chance to make the move, and make a difference. OIC has an impact on many aspects of everyday life. With around 1,800 staff, we are also the county’s biggest employer.
