Rates of pay for a full time job?

[Timberman675]

Hi,

Im 21 years old, Been employed for roughly 6 years 2 of  i was an apprentice, have got all my tickets climbing, rigging etc do climbing, okay im not the quickest can do reductions dismantling.

I seem to be on a team leader role managing team/subbies and managing how the jobs go making sure they are completed to time scale set and to a standard that i feel is to best we can do.  Make sure van is loaded in mornings and unloaded and tools locked up seem to be the one that does maintenance. Can do everything on the ground that's asked like rigging etc thinking of what the climber needs before he asks. my question is how much should someone with the amount of experience ive got and responsibilities ive got be on roughly an hour?

thanks

Depends where you're based and the kind of work.
The north, domestic arb, you'd be on £100 a day, more for commercial and more down south.
You are 21.
Insurance is really expensive, you don't have to provide any kit.
Did you pay for your own tickets?
I know top climbers in an easy job on £65-70 a day.
I also know top climbers on £200+ a day.
Try free lancing if you think you've got the skills.
You'll find out quickly if you're over or under charging.

You won’t get much freelance work on 40’ trees.

not really looking for any freelance work more just wanting to know how much i should be on an hour for say full time?

Well, have a look at the recruitment section of various sites.

 

No offence, but you’re clearly a groundy, not a climber.

 

Where are you based? What are you on atm? What sort of work are you doing?

 

Sounds like Sunday night grumbling..

It’s a conversation to have with the Guvnor really since only they or you can change the situation. 
 

What is yr rate and where are you?

 

Are you ‘happy’ in your current job or looking for something else?

Ok I will give it a go. 40 ft trees you can nearly do that with a pole saw! So I make you a groundy improver that needs time to train you to climb, but your responsible so £10/£12 hr max
