Summary

I honestly believe that I am the perfect candidate to fulfil the position of Arborist advertised for Paragon Resource Solutions as the following information will reflect.


I am moving to my new family home close to Ipswich that of 13 Clements Close, Scole, IP214EG as of the 1st of May 2024 when I return home from my travels in Japan where I am presently on holiday.


The move to the Suffolk / Norfolk border is a permanent arrangement as my fiancée and I will be looking after a family property indefinitely.


I also genuinely believe that Paragon Resource Solutions is the perfect opportunity for my own career development as it provides the highest level of equipment, safety and job security.


I am also very happy to undertake any length of probationary contract with a review at the companies discretion.

Skills

Other than being an extremely self motivated arborist, I pride myself on the level of customer satisfaction that I deliver in every aspect of my role


I have very good communication skills and I work equally well left to complete tasks or when working within a team


I have a true passion in tree care, maintenance and management of growth


I have been a freelance subcontractor for the past two years and I have completed a great array of tasks, the majority of which have been at significant heights


I pride myself on my flawless safety record which comes from a very good working knowledge of tree dynamics and risk assessing prior to undertaking works along with dynamic assessments as risks present themselves
