• Liaising professionally with clients, developers, local authorities and other stakeholders
• Identifying tree-related hazards and recommending appropriate remedial works

• Maintaining accurate records and documentation
• Working alongside our wider arboricultural and operational teams
• Representing Essex Tree Brothers professionally while attending client sites

What We're Looking For

The successful candidate should have:

• A qualification in arboriculture, forestry or a related subject – Level 3 minimum; higher-level qualifications preferred
• Experience within tree surveying and arboricultural consultancy
• Professional Tree Inspection (LANTRA or equivalent)
• Strong knowledge of BS5837 – experience applying this within development and planning projects would be beneficial
• Familiarity with recognised tree risk assessment methodologies such as VALID, QTRA, TRAQ or similar
• A sound understanding of tree biology, identification, defects and risk management
• Strong written skills with the ability to produce professional reports
• Confident verbal communication and client-facing skills

Joining Essex Tree Brothers means becoming part of a growing company with opportunities to develop alongside the business.

We offer:

• Competitive salary dependent on qualifications and experience

• Varied work across a wide range of arboricultural projects
• Opportunities for career progression as the company continues to grow
• The opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the protection and responsible management of trees

Why Join Us?

We are looking for someone who wants more than simply another consultancy position.

You'll have the opportunity to work closely with both our consultancy and operational teams, seeing projects progress from initial inspection and professional recommendations through to practical arboricultural management.

We value professionalism, safety, sound industry knowledge, environmental responsibility and teamwork, and we're looking for someone who shares those values.
