We are looking for a dedicated Tractor Driver to work in a Forest environment to help us care, manage and enhance our woodlands, habitats and recreational facilities around the Surrey/West Sussex/ East Hampshire area.

It's essential that you have experience operating tractors in a range of environments and using a number of tractor mounted tools and can demonstrate an enthusiasm for practical work in an outdoor environment.
