We invest millions of pounds every year to make sure that our network is in the best condition possible to minimise the risk of power cuts and to ensure the safety of the public.

- Project Management with site inspections on completed works.
- Conducting on-site safety audits and data reporting.
- Customer liaison and support of planned customer interruptions.
- Contractor coaching.
- Surveying, consenting and provision of associated job packs.

**Your Skills and Experience**
- Safety and Customer focussed with excellent communication skills.
- Arboriculture / Utility Arboriculture qualification with a detailed understanding of tree species and growth rates.
- Ability to assess, plan and challenge a workforce.
- Ability to identify inefficiencies and be able to suggest and implement improvements.
- A proven understanding of Microsoft Office 365 Applications (SharePoint and Excel) and strong organisational skills and proactive time management are a must.
