Arborist roles

Interested in a career as an Arborist? We're recruiting now.

Our Arborist teams help to ensure that during bad weather, trees do not fall on power lines. Working with highly skilled teams, they clear trees and vegetation in proximity to our overhead transmission and distribution network, ultimately keeping the lights on for our customers.

We're growing our team and looking for people who love being outdoors and have experience climbing or working at height. If you have previous experience in tree cutting, forestry or arboriculture that's a bonus, although full training will be given.

What do we offer?

• Excellent benefits including a generous holiday allowance and pension contribution, enhanced maternity and paternity pay and share schemes.
• A good work-life balance and flexible working opportunities
• Internal development opportunities and formal training
• Embedded safety culture
• An inclusive working culture
