This is an exciting opportunity for an individual with experience in the fields of arboriculture and land management to join our growing land management division.

GE Consulting are a well-established consultancy providing ecology, arboriculture and land management services to a wide range of clients across the south of England and Wales.

Our land management division carry out a range of activities including; tree surgery, sensitive vegetation clearance, ecological mitigation and habitat creation. With the company’s core focus being that of an environmental consultancy we are looking for an individual with a clear interest in the natural environment and a sensitive approach to any habitat removal works undertaken.

Whilst this role is and will always be focused on the land management division and it’s core functions we are seeking an individual with the interest and capabilities to assist on certain ecological tasks as and when the need arises. All training would be provided for these additional tasks but these elements will add variety and interest to the role for the right applicant. For clarity this role should not be seen as a stepping stone to becoming an ecological consultant it is for someone committed to a career in land management but we would like to recruit someone who is a team player and with an interest to help out on certain ecological tasks as and when needed.

This position is for someone looking to start out in their career, we are looking for the right person, not necessarily those with all the relevant skills and experience.
