Springwood Tree Services Ltd is a growing, professional arboricultural contractor delivering high-quality tree care and vegetation management services to commercial clients, local authorities, estates and domestic customers.
Our growth is steady and sustainable, backed by continued investment in our people, equipment, training and technical knowledge. With an experienced team, modern machinery and the capability to undertake the full range of arboricultural works, we pride ourselves on doing the job properly — safely, efficiently and to a consistently high standard.
We work closely with our clients to manage and maintain their trees, hedgerows and wider green environments, balancing good arboricultural practice, wildlife and environmental considerations with the practical demands of keeping sites safe and well managed.
As Springwood continues to grow, we’re looking for experienced Team Leaders to join us and play an important part in the next stage of the business.
WE'RE LOOKING FOR SERIOUSLY GOOD EXPERIENCED ARBORIST CLIMBERS / TEAM LEADERS
We’re not going to tell you we’re a “dynamic company offering an exciting opportunity in a fast-paced environment”.
We’re an established, growing arb company with good kit, a great team, plenty of work and some ambitious plans for where Springwood goes next.
And we needtwo experienced climbers who know their stuffto come and be part of it.
WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?
£38,000–£45,000 PAYE, depending on what you can bring to the role.
Monday–Friday, 7.30am–4pm.
There’s weekday and weekend overtime available if you want it. If you don’t, that’s absolutely fine too.
A hardworking, capable team to lead.
You won’t be expected to drag an uninterested crew through the day. Genuine people who you can make a real difference to as you help shape their arb careers.
We invest heavily in equipment because it makes everyone’s job safer, easier and more efficient. PPE, climbing kit, comms and saws are provided, and we’ll involve you in choosing what you actually want to use.
At least 28 days’ holiday — plus your birthday off.
Monthly physio, chiropractic or osteopathy appointments.
Training that actually goes somewhere.
If there are qualifications, tickets or skills that will make you better at what you do (or you just really want to do), we’ll support you in getting them.
And plenty of variety.
One day might be a technical dismantle or a big site clearance. Another could be reductions, estate work, planting, habitat installation or a much more straightforward day on the tools.
We work across domestic, commercial, estate and local-authority sites, so you won’t spend every week doing the same thing.
WHO ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
First and foremost,you need to be a really good arborist.
Ideally, you’ll have at least3–5+ years’ climbing experienceand be confident undertaking everything from quality pruning to technical dismantles.
But, being a Team Leader at Springwood isn’t just about being the best climber in the tree.
We want someone who can look at the job in the morning, make a plan, organise their team andget the job done safely, efficiently and to a standard they’re proud to put their name to.
Someone who notices when something needs doing and sorts it.
Someone who looks after the people working with them.
Someone who respects the kit.
Someone who can speak confidently and professionally to a client.
And someone who understands thatproductivity and quality can - and should - go together.
We don’t expect perfection and we don’t expect every day to go exactly to plan. Arb doesn’t work like that.
We do expect our Team Leaders to take ownership, communicate well and find solutions when things inevitably change.
THE TECHNICAL BIT
As a minimum, you’ll need the current equivalent of:
- CS30 / CS31
- CS38 / CS39 / CS41
- Woodchipper
- Full UK driving licence
Ideally you’ll also have:CS40, and CS47, First Aid +F and a CSCS card.
Don’t have every additional ticket?Talk to us anyway.Training and refreshers can be arranged for the right person.
A BIT ABOUT US
Springwood Tree Services is steadily (and sustainably) growing, but we’re deliberately building the business rather than chasing growth for the sake of it.
We invest heavily inour people, our equipment and doing good work.
We have modern machinery, capable teams and the kit to tackle everything from everyday pruning through to large dismantles, MEWP work, site clearances and commercial contracts.
We’re proud of what we’ve built, but we’re not pretending we’ve got everything figured out.
We’re looking for experienced people who want to have a genuine influence on the team around them and help us build an even better arb company.
