Tree Inspectors Wanted - Nationwide

About the job

What Do We Do?

We carry out large-scale tree health and safety surveys for Local Authorities, Highways, Housing, Schools and other landowners across the UK and use our own in-house software to capture and manage the data.

What Will You Do?

You will have everything set up for you and be provided with all the equipment needed. Before you start each contract, you will be inducted in all the RAMS etc and then on a day to day basis your main responsibilities will be;

• Mapping any new trees / groups within the remit of the survey, using our in-house software system
• Updating / recording existing survey information
• Carrying out a full VTA of each feature
• Risk Assessment using QTRA methodology
• Recommending works to reduce any tree risk to an acceptable level or in line with good arboricultural practice
• Recommending timescales for works within the scope of the project
• Liaising with the Survey Manager for any queries, input, discussion etc
• Deal with tenants, members of the public etc as appropriate - we understand this can occasionally be difficult and have strategies in place to help. 

In essence, you get to look at trees all day with the support and back up of the team behind you if you need it.

About the Company

TreeWise Solutions Ltd

Who We Are

Based in rural offices in the Cumbria countryside, we work all over the UK from Kilmarnock to Kent and a lot of places in between!

We have a fantastic team of Cumbria based staff who manage the operations (and walk the dogs too!), but our surveying staff are based all over the UK. Some work away and others prefer local work to their home and family. We have both permanent and freelance surveyors, and the nature and volume of our tree surveying contracts allows us to offer that flexibility to suit your individual circumstances. You will have that day to day support from our Contracts Team and will get to know them well.

If you work away, we provide you with really comfortable accommodation. We have a list of really lovely self-catering accommodation that allows our surveyors to work 'home from home.' Of course, if you prefer the hotel and meal, that is equally fine.  

We have regular get togethers in Cumbria, and as well as throwing the frisby for the dogs, we also have good team building events. 

We have a team of PTI inspectors who work on both a permanent and a sub-contract basis and are looking to expand our team and can offer work in most UK geographic regions. We can offer totally flexible working patterns and excellent rates of pay and benefits.
