Summary

We are looking for a skilled landscaper/landscape horticulturist with excellent plant knowledge and leadership skills. You’ll attend a variety of damages to green spaces and use your years of hands-on experience to work out how to put the damage right.

At all times ensuring Health and Safety is at the forefront of everything you and those you oversee do.

Key Responsibilities

• Attend locations throughout the U.K. to document damage caused to green spaces by a TPPD claim. Providing the know-how needed to work out how to reinstate the area to its pre-loss condition.

• Up-skill those you work alongside informally during works delivery and when requested through formal training sessions.

• Collaborate with internal staff to plan and coordinate works.
