They are currently looking to employ an English climber for 6 month contract from May 2018. The role will have the option of going permanent or becoming long term if the candidate likes working in Germany. They currently have four arborists and work as one large team undertaking a lot of routine pruning. They use a MEWP for accessing the trees and establishing an anchor point. The yard is based about 30 minutes from Hamburg where most of the work is undertaken. They would like to have a climber who has 1-2 years climbing experience. NPTCs for aerial use of the saw are essential as is a driving licence.
