Base Location: Swindon or Oxford
This role is mobile and predominantly field based, and we require your base 'home' location to be within 30 minutes of the depots listed above.
Salary: £36,139 - £43,188 + a range of benefits to support your finances, wellbeing, and family
Working Pattern: Permanent | Full Time
We are looking for a Utility Arboriculture chargehand to join our busy team!
In this role you will work as part of a cyclical tree cutting programme and on more reactive, customer focussed work.
As a leader within the team, you will help us manage trees & vegetation around our distribution network.
Safety is at the forefront of all activities at SSE, and you will work with your team to evaluate, prepare, and carry out tree cutting works on a variety of sites and voltages.
In addition to your daily role, during high winds and storms, trees can contact our equipment and cause power cuts, and so we cut them down or trim them back to keep the lights on.
You have:
- Previous experience in forestry/arboriculture.
- Relevant NPTC certificate units for the use of chainsaws, and a qualification including NPTC UAs.
- Enthusiasm and drive with a flexible approach to work and an ability to adapt to changing business and project priorities.
- Previous climbing experience is essential, and experience working near power lines would be an advantage.
- A high regard for safety, embedding yourself in our safety culture and adhering to guidelines in everything you do is a key priority.
Travel is required and as a result we can only accept applications from candidates that hold a current driving licence.
