This position will utilize your technical knowledge and experience to help guide the City’s tree preservation and street tree programs. As you grow with Arcadis, you will become involved with other NYC Parks’ programs, and with other City agencies, all with a focus on the City’s urban forest and other natural systems such as the Staten Island Bluebelt and park restoration projects.

Leadership:

In this supervisory role, you will participate in weekly supervisor meetings and routinely correspond with direct reports providing them mentorship and leadership. This will require providing supervisor updates to senior leadership in reference to pursuits, field visits, and team activities. You will be expected to act as an ambassador for the City’s urban forest resource during interaction with the City’s residents and landowners.

• Maintain daily records and review the daily reports of other inspection personnel, providing feedback and advice for improvement.
• Hold and attend field meetings with both contractor and owner to discuss progress, schedule, and work remaining.

Administrative:

Manage timecards and hours of team members. The individual in this role will need to have strong organizational skills needed for outlook, teams, and site leadership. You will also need to use the City’s Forms program as required for the assignment—entering data using tablets and populating contract line items.

• Must have valid driver's license and personal vehicle.
• Minimum of 3 years industry experience and 2 years leadership experience.
• Proficient at leadership in the environmental field along with understanding OSHA and ANSI standards.
