- Conversance with current Arboricultural best practice and how trees fit into and should be managed in accordance with key statutes, including the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, the Owners and Occupiers Liability Act 1957 & 1984, the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Highways Act 1980.
- Experience of overseeing tree planting operations, from selection through to establishment in the landscape.
- Experience of contract performance monitoring in an arboriculture setting, developing strategic documentation and undertaking tree assessments, making clear recommendations to ensure tree management in accordance with statutory guidelines.
- Experience of working with others to improve processes and outcomes.
- Experience of surveying and undertaking tree related assessments and specifying work using asset management systems.
