I am looking for a fulfilling role with like-minded people. I enjoy working outdoors and have a variety of skills.
I have been working in various Gardener roles on estates in Scotland and England since 2005. I'm well accustomed to using horticultural and arboricultural machines and vehicles including chainsaws and large tractors, 4x4 vehicles off road and have NPTC and Lantra certificates. I also have a decent plant knowledge and propagation experience with record keeping, and an interest in GIS systems. I have a tree climbing ticket but haven't climbed a tree since 2014. I have, however, used a chainsaw regularly over the years and on the most recent refresher course was described by the assessor as skilled with a saw.
