What's the opportunity?

If you're an Arboricultural Consultant looking to work on some of the UK's most challenging and rewarding projects, this is an opportunity to join a growing consultancy where your expertise genuinely shapes outcomes.

You’ll be working on technically complex projects, advising major infrastructure clients, managing risk, and delivering high-quality arboricultural consultancy across Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects (NSIPs), Development Consent Orders (DCOs), and large-scale development schemes.

What will I be doing?

No two projects are the same, but your responsibilities will include:

• Leading arboricultural surveys and delivering technically robust reports.
• Managing arboricultural input across NSIP and DCO projects from inception through to delivery.
• Producing Arboricultural Impact Assessments (AIA) and Arboricultural Method Statements (AMS).
• Undertaking tree risk management inspections and providing pragmatic recommendations.
• Carrying out veteran and ancient tree assessments and advising on appropriate management strategies.
• Tracking multiple projects, managing programmes, and ensuring work is delivered on time and to budget.
• Acting as a trusted advisor to clients, contractors and multidisciplinary project teams.
• Supporting junior consultants through mentoring, technical guidance and quality assurance.
• Contributing to business development and strengthening long-term client relationships.

What do I need?

You’ll already be an established arboricultural consultant with a strong technical background and the confidence to lead projects and engage directly with clients.

You’ll ideally have:

• Arboricultural consultancy experience.
• Proven experience working on NSIP and DCO projects.
• Strong knowledge of BS5837 and UK planning processes.
• Experience producing AIAs, AMSs and tree survey reports.
• A solid understanding of tree risk management principles.
• Experience undertaking veteran and ancient tree appraisals.
• Excellent project management and organisational skills.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to build trusted client relationships.

It would be great if you also have:

• Experience managing or mentoring teams.
• AutoCAD experience.
• Professional membership with the Arboricultural Association and relevant industry qualifications.

What's in it for me?

Alongside a competitive salary, you’ll be joining a consultancy that values technical excellence, professional development and collaboration.

You’ll have the opportunity to:

• Work on nationally significant and high-profile projects.
• Influence project outcomes from an early stage.
• Progress into a senior leadership position as the business continues to grow.
• Access ongoing CPD and professional development.
• Enjoy flexible and hybrid working arrangements.
• Be part of a supportive, knowledgeable team where your expertise is recognised and valued.

What happens after I apply?

You’ll be contacted by one of our sector specialists who’ll talk through your background, interests, and goals.

We’ll make sure the role is right for you and support you through each stage of the process.

Will someone guide me through the interview process?

Yes. Your consultant will brief you fully before interviews, provide insight into the company culture, and help you prepare so you can feel confident and well-informed.
