Estate Foreman

Dunvegan Castle & Gardens is an iconic part of Scotland’s heritage at the heart of the 41,000-acre MacLeod Estate on the Isle of Skye. As the ancestral home of the Chiefs of Clan MacLeod for 800 years, Dunvegan is a multi-award-winning 5* heritage attraction, acting as a magnet for over 180,000 visitors per year. This is a unique opportunity to helm a busy department that maintains a diverse range of buildings on the MacLeod Estate, ranging from the Grade A Listed Dunvegan Castle to our holiday cottages and heritage property portfolio. You will possess qualifications and experience in a recognised building trade and be capable of leading a committed team with a diverse range of backgrounds and experience. Always calm under pressure, we expect you to be a self-motivated problem solver with a range of handyman skills, and to deliver results with energy complemented by a sense of humour. Ideally possessing some experience of working within the heritage or construction sectors, you will be able to forward plan and complete the numerous maintenance tasks and larger winter projects on time by providing the estate with a friendly, efficient and pro-active maintenance service.
