About the Role
We are seeking a talented Consultant Arboriculturist to join Tetra Tech’s well-established environment business and help grow our arboricultural team. You will work closely alongside our multi-award winning ecology and natural capital teams, contributing to a diverse portfolio of projects across sectors including Residential, Defence, Energy, Government Services, and Transport. This role offers the opportunity to develop your technical skills and career within a defined pathway while working on exciting, ground-breaking projects.

As part of a multidisciplinary consultancy, you will collaborate regularly with colleagues from Planning, Placemaking, Engineering, Transportation, and Asset Management teams. You will be proactive in developing relationships across the business, supporting projects from tendering through to delivery.

You will prepare a variety of reports such as tree survey schedules, Tree Constraints and Opportunities Plans, Management Plans, Impact Assessments, and Method Statements. Liaising with local authorities regarding tree protection legislation, supervising site works, advising clients, preparing fee proposals and tenders, and undertaking quality assurance of reports will also be key aspects of your role.

We operate a fully flexible, hybrid working model focused on talent and skills rather than location, allowing you to choose where, how, and when you work as long as client expectations are met. We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements to support your personal and professional needs.
