What are the responsibilities and job description for the Ground Tree Crew Member (Entry Level) position at Alfieri Tree Care?
Alfieri Tree Care is looking for the right person to join our tree crew. Experience is a bonus, but reliability, work ethic, and attitude matter more to us than what's on your resume.

- Assist with equipment checks and basic maintenance
- Keep job sites, trucks, and equipment clean and organized
- Work safely and efficiently as part of a crew
This is an active, physical job performed outdoors throughout the year. Some days are harder than others, and everyone on the crew is expected to pitch in.

- Positive attitude and team mentality
- Willingness to listen, learn, and take direction
- Comfortable with physical, outdoor work in varying weather
