Trainee Arb Tech (Surveyor & Estimator) Wanted - Maldon

About the job

We are looking for an aspiring Surveyor and Estimator to join our business. You won't necessarily need to have experience in either field to date but a good operational knowledge of arboriculture operations (NPTC's) associated equipment and the ability to 'time tag' jobs and identify common tree species is essential, as well as a desire to learn and develop.
