Technical Project Manager, Mavisbank

Closing date: 12 June 2026

We are seeking to commission an experienced Technical Project Manager (TPM) for a period of around two years to play a key role in the first phase of one of the most important heritage rescue projects in the UK today.

A category-A listed building designed by William Adam, and a masterpiece of the Scottish Enlightenment, Mavisbank House near Edinburgh has been a cause celebre in the heritage industry since a catastrophic fire in the late 1970s. Complex ownership and access arrangements, and the building’s poor condition, have hindered numerous previous attempts to save it.

Following a breakthrough grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund (NHMF) in 2024, and working with Midlothian Council, Historic Environment Scotland and the Mavisbank Trust, the Landmark Trust is now in a position to set about rescuing this remarkable building.

While the position is set out here as a consultancy arrangement, we are open to receiving CVs from individuals with a proven track record of planning and delivering heritage projects who would prefer to work as a member of staff on equivalent terms.
