Whether you have been scaling 100-foot oaks for a decade or you are a grounded crew member ready to strap on a harness for the first time, we have a spot on our crew. We operate a safety-first tree care team focused on modern arboriculture, continuous learning, and proper technique. We hire for attitude, spatial awareness, and grit—we can teach you the rope work.
What You’ll Do (Scaled to Your Experience)
- Entry-Level / Apprentice: Learn knot tying, rope physics, friction hitches, canopy ascension, and production pruning through daily hands-on mentorship while supporting ground operations.
- Experienced / Lead Climber: Execute technical removals, complex rigging, structural pruning, and lead site safety protocols according to ANSI Z133 standards.
- All Roles: Safely operate gear (chippers, saws, mini-skids), maintain PPE standards, and respect customer property.
What We Are Looking For
- Must-Haves: Reliable work ethic, high physical stamina, zero fear of hard outdoor labor, and a serious commitment to crew safety.
- Licensing: Valid driver’s license with a clean record (CDL Class A/B is a major plus and raises starting pay).
- Bonus Qualifications: ISA Arborist certification, EHAP training, or past climbing experience (great to have, but attitude and willingness to learn come first).
Why Build Your Career With Us?
- Paid Climbing Pathways: Company provided climbing gear.
- Gear Allowance: $350 annual boot and gear stipend so you work comfortably and safely.
- Tiered Pay: Starting pay matches your current skills, with guaranteed pay bumps as you master new climbing, rigging, and safety milestones.
- Year-Round Stability: PTO, guaranteed winter hours, and consistent pay checks.
