Overview
We are seeking a Tree Surveyor who has exceptional reliability and attention to detail. The role involves traveling to various residential and commercial properties to capture vital tree and vegetation-related data, such as height, distance from property and species. You will capture this data using our proprietary mobile app that makes the process of noting down and submitting the data easy, quick and seamless.
This data will be used to produce comprehensive arborist reports for subsidence claims, helping property owners and insurers make informed decisions.
Since you submit the data required from site, there is no further office administration required from you once you get back home – the job is done!
We are looking for several roles throughout the country, to provide coverage UK wide.
