Keen to Start in Arboriculture – Looking for a Trainee Role! UK, EU

[BrunoP]

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a Trainee Arborist, Groundsman, or Forest Worker position around East Sussex but am willing to relocate within the UK or abroad for the right opportunity.

I’m 33 years old with a background in horticulture and grounds maintenance, and I’m eager to transition into arboriculture, forestry, or woodland management. I currently work as a gardener on a private estate, but most tree work is outsourced to contractors, limiting my hands-on experience in tree care.

I hold the following qualifications:
✅ CS30/31 (Chainsaw Maintenance & Crosscutting, Felling)
✅ CS38 (Tree Climbing & Aerial Rescue)
✅ IPAF MEWP Operator

I’m a hardworking, reliable individual with a good sense of humor, keen to gain more experience in the industry. If you know of any vacancies or have any advice, I’d greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks,

Bruno.

No shortage of work in Ireland following storm eowyn. In the short term anyway. 

You'll get a job in the morning with climbing and mewp tickets. Everyone is looking for qualified staff.

Any of the big firms would take you on mate, Ground Control etc.

 

If you fancy the midlands Beechwood out of Coventry are always receptive to good staff.

 

Bridglands at Cranbrook would be worth a call if you want to stay more local.
