Invasive Plant Consultant

Do you possess a natural ability to sell an idea, connect quickly with others, and approach your work with a people-oriented mindset, all while being a budding environmental enthusiast?

If you are looking to use your experience and develop your career in a growing business, then this opportunity is for you!

Environet is a well-established, successful, 100% employee-owned business that is focused on creating a rewarding work environment that is positive and supportive, where everyone feels valued, heard, and empowered to contribute their ideas.

We are actively seeking a new Consultant to join our team and contribute their skills and passion to our shared goals.

About the role:

As an Invasive Plant Consultant, you'll play a crucial role in ensuring our clients receive expert advice and reassurance from day one. Your main responsibility will be to deliver high quality consultancy via competent on-site assessment followed by detailed, accurate reporting which will enable our clients to make informed choices about their invasive plant problem.

Working mainly from home, with occasional travel to our office in Woking, you'll be covering the Midlands and wider region, where there will be many different people to meet and work with, so you’ll need to be outgoing and friendly, with a "how can I help you?" attitude. You will need to be able to think on your feet, make astute assessments of client's requirements and then use a persuasive, teaching style to communicate how our business can best help them taking account of any constraints.

Responsibilities:

You will be responsible for;

• Identifying a range of invasive plants in the field and assessing the existing and future impacts of those species on a site
• Preparing and submitting Management Plans which include technical recommendations and costings
• Providing follow up support to clients through their decision making process
• Following up all proposals in a timely fashion with the aim of securing instructions for the proposed work
• Meeting defined sales targets relating to both value of secured work and conversion rates
• Assisting the Sales & Marketing team with initiatives as required e.g. delivering webinars, networking events, and delivering leaflets
• Building relationships with professional advisors such as solicitors, surveyors and estate agents, as well as existing and potential clients to develop repeat/referral business.

Skills and Experience

As an Employee-owned business, Environet is all about the people, so a team player, with good communication skills who wants to contribute to the growth and development of the business will be a great fit. We will always recruit the person over the skill set – but we are looking for a few key attributes that will ultimately make you successful in this role including;

• A passion for the environment and an interest in plants
• Excellent organisational skills, attention to detail and ability to multi-task
• Ability to work at a fast pace, with accuracy
• Proficient user of Microsoft Office 365
• Excellent communicator with the ability to motivate others while being aware of and responsive to their needs and concerns
• Knowledge of landscaping/construction plant and waste disposal will be advantageous, as would some previous experience in a similar role.

A few reasons why you should join us

• Competitive salary DOE - 37.5hr Contract
• 31 days holiday including bank holidays, Christmas shut down and a long-service recognition scheme. 
• Flexible working options including WFH
• 100% employee-owned company, with an Profit Share Scheme
• Enhanced sick pay & life insurance
