YOU WANT ME to work for you! American in UK

[xdarkknight]

Heyya,

 

My name is Bryce Tangvald. I've recently moved from Seattle, WA, USA to the Market Harborough, Leicestershire, UK at the beginning of June '10.

 

I've been working with an Arborist/Climbing trainer for the last 6 months after other jobs doing wilderness trails work and working as an EMT with a local ambulance svc. I'm a US NREMT certified Wilderness-Emergency Medical Technician with 2 years of experience. I have started training in Arboriculture, Pruning Operations, Tree Climbing and Rigging Procedures and am constantly improving upon my skills.

 

The last 6 months I have been the Groundsman for a 2 man crew. I am proficient in the operation and use of Chainsaws, brush cutters, Tree-Stump Grinders & Chippers. As an EMT, I drove a large vehicle all day long. Now, as the groundsman, I drive the Chip-Truck with Chipper Trailer to every job-site. I am knowledgeable in basic to intermediate pruning operations and have basic experience Tree Climbing.

 

As I've moved from the USA to the UK in June, I only have some necessary PPE. However, I now have NPTC Certs CS30 & 31 under Lantra Certified Training with an aim to get CS 38, 39 & 40. As such, I am hoping to find an employer who is willing to put my experience to work and maybe help sponsor me into the other Certifications I need.

 

Currently, we will be spending some time in southern Leicestershire, but are hoping to move to Somerset, between Bath & Yeovil. The Precise location depends upon the availability of work for my wife & I and the availability of suitable/affordable housing within that area.

 

My experience has been working with 20-30 year veterans who either hold ISA Arborist certification, have extensive old-growth logging or wildland firefighting experience, or a combination of it all. I Hoping for someone with a good few years in the industry, but I'm flexible. I am, however, looking for a good quality operation to join. If that's you, give me a Call, PM or Email!

 

I've been particularly looking to work alongside someone who's managing a woodland, coppicing & hedgelaying, etc. However my experience has been working alongside Arborists & Tree Surgeons.

 

For further information, please see my CV below.

 

Thanks for your interest!! I look Forward to hearing from you soon!
