The workload is focused on lender-funded developments of scale, including complex, long-term and multi-phase schemes where professional judgement, clarity of advice and credibility with funders are critical. Instructions are typically strategic in nature rather than transactional, providing strong visibility of work and sustained involvement on major projects. The Scottish market is particularly busy at present, with Scotland operating under separate building regulations rather than the Building Safety Act regime seen in England. As a result, development activity and funding continue to remain strong north of the border, creating sustained demand for experienced monitoring professionals. This role is suited both to experienced Project Monitoring Surveyors already operating full-time within monitoring, and also to Building Surveyors or Quantity Surveyors currently undertaking some monitoring work who want to specialise fully in development finance and lender advisory. The Role You will act as Project Monitor on lender-funded developments across Scotland, from initial due diligence through delivery, providing clear, commercially focused advice to lenders and project teams. This is a judgement-led role. You’ll be expected to interrogate proposals, identify and articulate risk, and support lender confidence throughout the lifecycle of each project. You’ll operate with autonomy, supported by an experienced senior peer group rather than a leveraged, junior-heavy structure.

Are you an experienced people professional looking for a part-time role with real variety and genuine impact? We're a renewable energy consultancy of around 45 people, doing work that matters — and we're looking for a Head of People to cover a period of maternity leave for our Director of People & Strategy. Rather than a like-for-like cover, this role focuses on the people function specifically — giving us the senior people leadership we need while also creating space to make real progress on some priorities that matter to us. This isn't a role where you'll be buried in process or managing a large team — but you will need to be comfortable rolling your sleeves up when needed. It's a senior, relationship-led position where you'll be the people voice in the room — advising our SLT and CEO, handling situations that need real senior people experience, and helping us make meaningful progress on some priorities we're genuinely excited about. In a team of 45 you'll need to be both strategic and hands-on, sometimes in the same week. What you'll be doing You'll act as people business partner to our Senior Leadership Team and Heads of Department — attending meetings, contributing to decisions, and being the go-to for anything that needs a senior people perspective. You'll own complex employee relations matters, oversee our recruitment activity, and keep our people governance and policies in good shape. You'll also line manage our People Experience Manager, who is stepping up into an expanded role during this period. And alongside the day-to-day, there's a real opportunity to lead on some meaningful people projects — things like developing our EVP and starting to build our approach to DEI. The exact scope will be agreed with you when you join, shaped around your expertise and our priorities. What we're looking for You'll have solid senior generalist people experience — ideally as a People Business Partner or Head of People — and you'll know what good looks like in a small, fast-moving organisation. You won't need a big team around you to do your best work, and you'll be comfortable building trust quickly with people at all levels. You're pragmatic, calm under pressure, and the kind of person who brings clarity to people situations rather than complexity. You communicate well — in writing and in person — and you understand the difference between being a senior advisor and rolling up your sleeves for everything. The nice to haves Experience in professional services or consultancy, exposure to DEI, EVP or management development work, and any H&S knowledge are all welcomed — but none are dealbreakers. The detail Location: Edinburgh, Stockbridge office (hybrid) Hours: 22.5 hours per week — 3 days, or spread across 4 if you prefer Contract: 12-month fixed-term Salary: £60,000 FTE (£36,000 actual) Start date: July (ideally 13th July at the latest) What is it like to work at Locogen?

We learn from our experiences and take accountability. We are client focused and inspire each other to do the best we can. We are a social bunch so there is always something going on whether in the office or remotely, including: • Company-wide socials, team socials and away day (paid for by Locogen), • Clubs for remote and in-office people — book club, wordle club, running and more, • Coffee roulette — an opportunity each month to chat to someone different, • A pets channel for sharing pictures of your furry loved ones 🐾 Some of our benefits 🕐 Fully flexible hours with no fixed core hours 🌴 25 days holiday + 5 flexible bank holidays + 4 company closure days (25 & 26 Dec, 1 & 2 Jan) ✈️ Work from anywhere in the world for up to 60 working days per year (in 20 working day intervals) 👶 Enhanced maternity and paternity policies, sickness and other leave — including 4 days paid dependents leave 📚 Ongoing professional and personal development — training, memberships and education costs covered 🏥 Private Health Insurance with AXA 🛡️ Life Assurance, Critical Illness and Income Protection options 💰 Pension at 10% (5% employee/employer contribution split) — flexible for those who want to opt out or contribute more 🚲 Cycle to Work & EV Car Scheme 🐶 Dog friendly office — with snacks for you AND your dog How to apply No candidate will meet every single desired criterion.
