Coastal Estates Manager – Scotland
Our purpose is simple: to save lives at sea. Since the 19th century, our crews have been risking their lives to save those who are in danger of drowning. We’re looking for a Coastal Estates Manager to join our Estates Team.
The RNLI provides a 24-hour lifeboat service from 238 stations and a seasonal lifeguard service on 240 beaches around the coast of the UK, ROI and the Isle of Man. The built facilities and structures upon which these essential services depend are often in challenging and exposed locations, requiring a continuous programme of inspection, maintenance, installation and development.

You will have significant responsibility for an operational portfolio of buildings, including the requirement to accurately assess conditions, specify and procure planned and emergency works, and monitor contractor performance against safety, quality and cost criteria.
This vacancy is home-based within the Scottish region and will be covering the northernmost coastline from Lochinver round to Peterhead and including Loch Ness, Lewis, Harris and the Orkney and Shetland Islands.
About you
To be considered as the Coastal Estates Manager, you will need extensive practical experience of managing building maintenance and construction works at a professional level, ideally in a maritime environment.
Educated to HNC level or equivalent in Building Construction or Civil Engineering or equivalent experience and desirably educated to degree level with membership of a professional body such as CIOB, RICS or ICE, you will possess commercial and financial acumen, excellent IT and communication skills and the ability to work effectively at both strategic and operational levels. This will be matched with a highly motivated, organised approach, a thorough understanding of current maintenance procedures and an embedded attitude towards Health and Safety practices and regulations.
As a Coastal Estates Manager, you will thrive in an environment where you are managing and delivering multiple concurrent projects over diverse geographical and technical areas, using skill and sound judgement to provide practical solutions to engineering problems safely and efficiently.
This post requires a valid driving licence.

Our staff and volunteers have been saving lives at sea without prejudice for 200 years. We respect and value diversity of background, skills and perspectives within our teams, and consider it essential to help us deliver a world-class lifesaving service.

Company
The RNLI was actually founded as the Royal National Institution for the Preservation of Lives and Property from Shipwreck in 1824. Thirty years later in 1854, we changed our name to the Royal National Lifeboat Institution - the RNLI - as we are known today.
Having Royal patronage gives gravitas to our cause and is something we’re incredibly proud of and thankful for.
It was our founder, Sir William Hillary’s, aim to provide a 24/7 search and rescue lifeboat service run, where possible, by volunteers and funded by voluntary donations.
Although the service was to be a national service to protect the coasts of the UK and Ireland, Hillary’s vision was to ‘extend its beneficial effects to the most distant shores, and to generations yet unborn.’
We are a charity founded upon and driven by our values of selflessness, courage, dependability and trustworthiness, with volunteers at our heart. Values shared by generations of supporters like you who have powered our lifesaving work through your kindness and generosity for almost 200 years.
Volunteers make up 95% of our organisation - ordinary people doing extraordinary things - supported by expert staff, all working together to help communities at home and abroad save lives.
