• Attend sites across the UK (approx. 4-5 days a week) - diverse locations and sectors.
• Collaborate with project managers, planners, and ecology teams to deliver client outcomes.
• Support long standing high profile clients as well as ad hoc works including bat surveys and high-risk tree reviews.
• You must hold a minimum QCF Level 3/4 Qualification in Arboriculture or above
• Proven experience in arboricultural fieldwork and reporting.
• Strong working knowledge of BS5837 and UK planning guidance.
• Confident in interpreting survey data and presenting technical findings clearly.

• Ability to work independently and travel frequently.
• Foundation degree, HND, or similar in arboriculture or environmental management.
• LANTRA PTI or equivalent certification.
• Familiarity with GIS, QGIS, or ArborTrack.
• Enthusiasm to expand skillset in consultancy or asset management.

• Support & Mentoring - Join a collaborative and experienced team with training and development.
• Travel Opportunities - Wide site coverage across the UK keeps work engaging and diverse.
• Stable Pipeline - Ongoing work through long-term contracts and increasing in-house delivery.
