However, a good crew leader which you have refered to may not be a good arborist, sometimes businessmen just buy a tree business but have never climbed a tree.
Just my 0.02 |
Most council permits here recommend that the works be carried out by qualified and/or experienced Arborist.
The position will involve some climbing, but not all of the climbing. It will be as much a part of the job to train and oversee other climbers on the crew.
For me ideally, a foreman/crew leader is on the ground rather than up a tree. Best position to direct a climber and other ground crew, liase with client etc.
Yes ekka a good foreman may be great at organising his crew and the job, but when pressed for some technical answers by a client may not be able to deliver
