Tilhill has, over the last 70+ years, planted more than 1 billion trees and, as a private company, has the greatest number of professionally qualified managers. We specialise in woodland creation and management, timber harvesting and buying, and landscaping. We strive at all times to provide an unrivalled service to our clients and customers. Tilhill is part of the BSW Timber Group, the UK’s largest integrated forestry business.

• Existing client care and cultivating new potential clients and their intermediaries.

The role would appeal to either:

• A commercially minded forester looking to develop their career as a surveyor. Specialist training will be provided.
