We are looking for a Utility Arborist to join our busy team!

As a Utility Arborist, you will play a vital role in keeping the electricity network safe and reliable. Working as part of a planned tree-cutting programme, you will help manage trees and vegetation near our distribution network, ensuring work is completed safely and to schedule.

Safety is at the heart of everything we do. Working alongside experienced colleagues, you will assess sites, plan work activities and carry out tree-cutting operations across a variety of environments and voltage levels, always following the highest safety standards.
