Job Description
Mansfield District Council is looking for a skilled and motivated Tree Officer to help manage, protect and enhance the District’s tree stock. This is a varied and influential role, combining practical arboricultural work with statutory planning responsibilities, public enquiries, contractor supervision and support for the Council’s future Tree Strategy.
As the Council’s first point of contact for tree matters, you will provide specialist arboricultural advice to Council departments, elected Members, residents, contractors and other stakeholders. You will respond to operational and emergency tree issues, investigate enquiries and complaints, and ensure tree works are completed safely, effectively and to the required standards.
Reporting to the Infrastructure Projects and Assets Assistant Manager, you will help organise day-to-day tree-related activity, commission and supervise external contractors, and communicate work requirements and standards to employees and contractors. Although the role has no formal direct reports, it requires strong coordination, sound judgement and the ability to influence quality and compliance across arboricultural operations.
