Utility Arborist careers

A Utility Arborist is responsible for the maintenance and management of vegetation near powerlines and other utility infrastructure. Their primary role involves inspecting, pruning, and removing trees and branches that pose a risk to electrical safety or disrupt utility services. This job requires strong knowledge of arboriculture, tree biology, and safe work practices, particularly when working near live electrical networks.

Utility Arborists often use climbing gear, elevated work platforms, and chainsaws to carry out their duties, and they must follow strict industry safety regulations. The role also involves liaising with utility companies, property owners, and local councils to ensure compliance with environmental and legal requirements.
