The nerve centre of the organisation, reaching from Muckle Flugga in Shetland to Chicken Rock off the Isle of Man, lies behind the Georgian frontage of 84 George Street, Edinburgh. There, under the Chief Executive, the staff fall into four sections:

The Chief Executive controls Human Resources, Quality, Health & Safety and Environmental, the Secretary to the Board and Public Relations,

The Director of Finance controls Administration, Finance, Information Technology and Commercial;

The Director of Engineering, Engineering, Design, Maintenance and Support;

The Director of Marine Operations, Ship and Helicopter operations and all navigational and business development matters.

Also in Edinburgh are the Workshops, equipped to service all lighthouse machinery. More importantly, Edinburgh provides the Monitor Centre, from which the operational parameters of automated major and minor lighthouses are monitored by land-line and radio link night and day throughout the year.
