What is a Conservation Officer and what do they do?
The Conservation Officer provides advice to a wide range of stakeholders including the general public, community groups, Council staff, etc regarding the maintenance of historic structures and areas in County Meath.
The job also involves encouraging and supporting owners, local and national stakeholders through the provision of advice and through the various funding schemes operated by the Council.
An important element of the job is to liaise with owners and professionals about their development proposals which may affect historic buildings, or new buildings in historic areas.
The Conservation Officer works with the various construction professions (architects, engineers, surveyors) and skilled based works (Stone masons, Thatch roofers, Lime Plasters) to promote good practice in how we look after older buildings.
