Tree Surgeon
Job description
M Large Tree Services Ltd are now into their 6th decade in business making us one of the longest established and most experienced tree care companies in the UK and Ireland. The Company is renowned for high quality work using the latest practices and equipment and has an envious reputation built up over many years. We have always led the way with innovation including the introduction of wood chippers and stump grinders into Ireland over forty years ago. Today we have our own fleet of cranes, tree shears, grapple saws, chippers and spider lifts. Because of staff development an opening for an experienced tree surgeon/arborist (with the potential of team leader) has arisen. Most of our work is for private clients and organisations demanding quality work carried out by professionals. We have little involvement with utility work so we are looking for dedicated professionals who want to progress within N Ireland’s leading tree care company. Our staff turnover is very low with most having ten years’ service and some up to forty. We welcome applications from suitably qualified and experienced persons who would like to advance their career in the industry. The position is full time and permanent.
