I am 32 and I am Italian. I have been travelling around NZ, Australia and Canada over the last 7 years working mainly for plant nurseries and in the landscaping industry (above all ecological restoration).
I have found my "happy place" when surrounded by trees and I would love to step into the arboriculture industry. I am eager to learn this profession and have a big passion for trees and plants.
As my first move into this industry (and to increase my chances to find a job opportunity), I have just completed a "tree climbing certification course (promoted by FORMAZIONE 3T here in Turin). It allowed me to learn some good basics about safe climbing and I got some valuable skills.
Over the last month I reached out to many arborists back home with the hope to flank a team or an expert in this field, where to observe and practice as much as possible. It seems a bit more complicated than I thought and I have decided to consider "different routes".
I was wondering if by any chance anybody is looking for an inexperienced tree climbers to grow within a team and learn every aspect of this profession.
I know I am missing lots of qualifications (chainsaw, aerial rescue, MEWP, tree felling, etc) but I have to begin somewhere: maybe even as a "groundie"? Basically I am just looking for an opportunity!
I do speak English and just a tiny bit of French (which can be improved with some effort). I am kind of fluent in Spanish.
I consider myself a very adaptable, proactive and pragmatic person. I am willing to move anywhere in EU for the right opportunity.
Tips and suggestions are always welcome!
I wish you all the best. SEE YOU ON THE TREES!
