Summary
Role Overview
We are looking for an enthusiastic and proactive individual with practical forestry experience to join our small team at Hooke Park – someone willing to get hands-on working outside in our beautiful forest and timber yard and playing a key role in supporting the work at Hooke Park.
The position is a supporting role that connects the forest and the timber yard and is fundamental for the integration of forestry work with timber supply for buildings at Hooke Park. You will be working together with our Head Forester assisting in the management of the woodland; maintenance, planting, monitoring, tree felling and extraction. You will also play a key role in operating the timber sawmill and helping our team to coordinate the supply of timber for built projects, liaising with the forester and academic programme heads on requirements and availability of material.
This role is ideal for a highly practical person with forestry skills, and a real passion for woodland. Hands-on forestry experience is an essential requirement, and some experience of timber processing/ machining is highly desirable, but training will be provided for operating the timber mill - we welcome applicants from forestry backgrounds who are willing to develop their skills and knowledge in this area. Some experience with making, particularly working in timber would be an advantage but not essential. A very important aspect of the role is supervising and enforcing a high standard of Health and Safety and good working practice.
You will be working within a small team and the role will include diverse interaction with people across the site, including our forester, academic staff, workshop technicians, make tutors and students, as well as our maintenance, facilities and admin team and a rolling schedule of visitors to the campus. You must be good at working within a team, able to plan and prioritise your work and self-directed when necessary.
HOW TO APPLY:
Please visit https://www.aaschool.ac.uk/jobs by the closing date of 24TH JULY, MID-DAY.
Please note that it will not be possible for the AA School to issue a Certificate of Sponsorship for successful candidates. Therefore, the appointed candidate will need to be eligible to work in the UK for the duration of their employment with the AA School, in accordance with the Immigration, Asylum and Nationality Act 2006.
Thank you for your interest in the AA and this role.
