UK Climber looking for work in BC, Canada.

[KrisRossArb]

Hello, I'm a Free Lance Climber from the UK, 6 year experience working both in NZ and the UK.
Been running my own small business and contract climbing for larger firms, but now in a position to expand my knowledge and skill as an arborist.

I'm currently applying for a 24 month Working Holiday visa and looking to head over in the new year/Spring but would make the move sooner if there was a good offer.

Please see my C.V attached below.
Cheers!

What kind of arboriculture work are you looking for in specific ? Pruning, takedowns, consulting work, conservation?

 

[KrisRossArb]

Looking at reduction work, dismantles and would like to do anything that I wouldn’t have the opportunity to do in the Uk

What we have here that you don't is massive conifers ; look into work around the North Shore (North Vancouver), further north such as Squamish / Whistler or around Vancouver Island ; though you'll earn a smaller salary on the island.

Another thing you could look into is challenging the Faller certification and doing falling / logging work

Thanks for the heads up! I would prefer the North Shore or Squamish, really liked the area while I was there. Noticed the size of the Conifers as well, good chance to do more speedlines etc.

Spoke to someone on the Chief in Squamish and they said about the Faller jobs which I would interested in looking into.
