The conservation group responsible for Ben Nevis is looking for someone to take charge of nearly £4million of projects to help protect and enhance the area.
The Nevis Partnership is advertising for a programme manager to run its landscape action plan.
It will be the first of five new jobs created after the body received £1.8million from the Heritage Lottery Fund.
It will then advertise for an administrator, a communications officer and an environmental projects officer and, in a couple of months time, will be looking to add a paths manager.
Nevis Partnership executive director John Hutchison said: “The landscape project is a really big project for Lochaber and for Nevis in particular.
“The £1.8million is just the first stage. The whole project will cost almost £4million over five years.”
He added that the funding package would enable the partnership to start delivering 18 projects, bringing environmental, social and economic investment to the Glen and Ben Nevis area.
Due to its iconic nature, several hundred thousand visitors are drawn to the Nevis area each year.
This has a positive and important impact on the local economy, but also a very negative and damaging effect on the environment.
Visitor management and environmental repair work is a necessity to protect the area for future generations.
Mr Hutchison added: “Some of the most important landscapes in our country have the status of a national park and are directly funded by the government.
“We don’t have this, so Nevis Partnership has worked hard with many other partners to take forward this landscape partnership and we were really fortunate to get funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, which requires match-funding from other bodies.”
He added that the aim of the landscape programme was to manage the unique heritage of the Nevis area and to conserve the environmental and historic heritage for present and future generations to enjoy.
