Tetra Tech is looking for an experienced Arboriculturist to join our team of consultant arboriculturists and landscape architects in Shaping the Future. We work on a diverse range of projects including Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects and large-scale renewable energy projects as well as commercial, residential, retail, leisure and major infrastructure developments. Our renewables work includes solar, offshore and onshore wind, international interconnector and energy storage projects.

Purpose & Scope of the Role

Working closely with colleagues in the Landscape Team, multi-disciplinary colleagues and project teams, you'll be solving problems and deliver successful project outcomes for our clients across a wide range of sectors throughout the UK.

The work includes site and desk-based work. Typically, your work will include:

• Attending sites and conducting tree surveys in accordance with BS5837 using tablet-based data capture software
• Writing and collating tree related reports, schedules and plans including Tree Surveys, Impact Assessments (AIA) and Method Statements (AMS)
• Working closely with multi-disciplinary colleagues, project teams and clients advising on tree related matters to address problems and deliver successful project outcomes
• Attending project and client meetings

Your Impact in This Position

In the short term, you'll establish a good working relationship with colleagues in the Arboriculture and Landscape Team and other disciplines within the office. You will immediately contribute to project delivery and fee earning work supporting projects throughout the UK. You will quickly take responsibility for Project Management and invoicing as appropriate.

Over the medium term, you'll have the opportunity to develop your career with greater responsibility for project management of larger arboriculture projects and developing client relationships that support a fulfilling career and contribute to profitable project outcomes. Working on multi-disciplinary projects you will also be able to develop working relationships with colleagues in other disciplines to support bids and secure new commissions.

In the long term, subject to performance, you'll have the opportunity to continue to develop your career further with the potential to move into management roles within the Arboriculture and Landscape Team.
