Possibly, depends if you can secure contract work. utility arb often seem to be after surveyors, but something of a specialism.

 

good luck..

I think there's a demand for good subby tree surveyors - especially if you're flexible on travel arrangements. You will need a qualification (LANTRA Professional Tree Inspector as a minimum, ideally a Tech Cert/L4) and a working knowledge of planning and tree risk survey methods to command regular work.

 

Where are you based?
