Tree Health Surveyors for Acres Wild Woodlands Ltd (working for the Forestry Commission)
We have a number of full-time self-employed vacancies for an immediate start in our regional tree health survey teams. We survey woodlands and individual trees to locate OPM nests on behalf of the Forestry Commission, enabling the pest to be controlled and the trees conserved.
We offer full paid training and £140 a day initially, increasing on subsequent surveys. We pay full mileage at 45p/mile. We work full time Monday to Friday usually into September, with the possibility of extension, and typically have a winter survey starting again from mid January until mid April.
You will be joining a dedicated team of ecologists and woodland surveyors, many of whom have worked with us over several years. This is a good entry level position, offering valuable work experience for those looking to pursue ecological or forestry careers, and will also appeal to experienced ecologists available for seasonal work. Many previous surveyors, having gained survey experience with us have moved into successful permanent positions in Tree Health and related roles.
There is also the potential for work on our other surveys for the Forestry Commission, for example Sweet Chestnut Blight, Spruce Bark Beetle (Ips Typographus) and also in helping assess new urban tree planting.
You will need to be physically fit, enjoy team work and be punctual and methodical in your approach to work. You should provide own binoculars, gps and smart phone and have a vehicle for work.
