Arboricultural Consultant

Your new company

My client is an established environmental consultancy with a long-standing reputation for delivering arboricultural services across a diverse range of infrastructure, development, land management and asset management projects. Due to continued growth and increasing client demand, they are looking to appoint an Arboricultural Consultant to join their expanding team.

The business has a strong track record of developing and retaining staff, with several senior members of the team having progressed internally over a number of years. They offer a supportive, collaborative culture where individuals are encouraged to develop technically, build client relationships and progress their careers.

Your new role

Completing tree safety inspections and risk assessments
Producing technical reports and management recommendations
Supporting planning and development projects
Building and maintaining client relationships
Contributing to the delivery of utility, infrastructure and land management projects
Supporting senior consultants whilst developing your own project portfolio

The successful candidate will be somebody who enjoys working collaboratively, is keen to continue developing professionally and wants to be part of a supportive team with genuine long-term progression opportunities.

What you'll get in return
£35,000 - £41,000 salary depending on experience
