Thinking of moving back to Germany.Any tips?

[tobimax]

Having lived half my life in Germany and speaking the lingo I was thinking of moving back there to work. Any tips on finding work in the tree field. I´m not a climber too old for that but have spent my time working as a groundie. Have the usual CS30/31 plus a Countryside management Level 3.

Any thoughts or tips? Would be based in the Cologne /Köln area.

Cheers.

If you're going to Köln/Ruhrgebiet area, you should find no end of work. We have 2 teams of lads up at Dortmund every week, still trying to sort out the damage from the storm we had in June. And thats just contracts with the graveyards and a housings and green space management company. There are still other private companies with contracts with the council. And thats just in Dortmund.

In othere words, you should get work

 

I dont know when you were last here and what it was like, but I know that now, just bring lots of paperwork. As much as you can bring regarding bank statements, tax, etc. And the BG (Berufsgenossenschaft) are getting a little tighter now, though still not as strict as safety rules in britain and ireland....

 

You've been here before, you know how it works, get to the Ruhrgebiet, and you'll get work.

All the best to you mate
