Job description

Are you an experienced project manager? Are you excited by innovation, like a challenge, partnership working, and the opportunity to help shape a new service with real impact on people’s lives? If so we would love to hear from you. We are looking for an experienced and proactive project manager who is a strong and engaging communicator.

Due to the nature of the role, ideally the candidate would be based in the Highlands and Islands, as regular travel throughout the project area will be required.

About us

Changeworks is a great place to work. We hold Investors in People Platinum accreditation (something only a few organisations in Scotland have), and our staff overwhelmingly would recommend us as an employer too.

The Climate Emergency has resulted in ambitious national targets to reduce carbon emissions from the built environment and reduce rates of fuel poverty. This has driven a significant increase in the number of pilot and large-scale interventions delivered by Changeworks and external organisations in this area. These include area-based domestic energy efficiency retrofit and decarbonisation projects and programmes.

We are a growing organisation, and this role is crucial to the delivery of our ambitious objectives. We want to decarbonise homes in Scotland on a massive scale, and that needs talented individuals like you to help us deliver on our objectives. You’ll receive full training plus coaching and mentoring.
