Full Job Description
Your new company
We are collaborating with a highly reputable Tier 1 highways contractor seeking summer staff to assist in assessing damage to Ash trees across Scotland. This annual survey focusses on the impact of Ash Dieback, a disease first recorded in the UK in 2012, and is conducted while the trees are in leaf.
Your new role
As a temporary summer staff member, you will be split into teams of 2-3 and provided with a company van to travel to planned sites. The position runs from the end of May until late August, with working hours varying based on daylight. Your responsibilities will include:
- Inspecting ash trees for signs of Ash Dieback disease on trunk roads in either the North East or South West of Scotland.
- Conducting visual inspections to determine if Ash Dieback infection has spread to the area.
- Logging any signs of danger to traffic from parts of the tree falling due to infection exposure.
- Taking photos of affected areas on the tree.
- Reporting findings using tracking software.
What you'll need to succeed
- Pursuing or holding a degree in Biology, Engineering, or Environmental Sciences or similar field.
- Ability to work in teams and travel across Scotland.
- Attention to detail and good observational skills.
- Physical fitness, enough to walk up to 6 hours per day.
- Technology savvy.
What you'll get in return
- Competitive pay of 17-19 per hour based on experience.
- Full training provided, with induction days at your local office.
- Valuable industry experience and the opportunity to contribute to an important environmental survey.
