SALES ARBORIST

Alpine Tree Service
Morristown, NJ Full Time
POSTED ON 9/2/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 10/1/2026
Sales Arborist

Who We Are

Alpine Tree Service is a high-growth, full-service tree care company serving residential and commercial clients across New Jersey. We operate with a focus on safety, professionalism, and execution — following ANSI standards and delivering a premium customer experience. We are building a team of professionals, not just workers.

The Role

The Sales Arborist is a production sales role. You'll meet clients, diagnose their needs, design solutions, and close work at strong margins. You're responsible for building and managing your own pipeline — not waiting for leads to be handed to you.

This role rewards accountability, pipeline discipline, and follow-through.

What You'll Do

As Alpine's Sales Arborist, You'll Be Responsible For:



  • Meeting with residential and commercial clients to assess tree care needs



  • Diagnosing issues (tree health, risk, structure) and recommending appropriate services



  • Building and managing a consistent, self-generated pipeline (referrals, networking, repeat clients)



  • Preparing accurate, professional proposals and job scopes



  • Clearly communicating pricing, timelines, and expectations



  • Tracking all activity, follow-ups, and revenue in CRM



  • Collaborating with Operations to ensure jobs are executed properly



  • Owning your numbers: revenue, close rate, average job size, and margin

    How We Operate

    Sales at Alpine is a production craft. Here's what that looks like in practice:



  • Actively Seek Knowledge: Tree knowledge, sales skill, and efficiency — this role rewards people who actively level up. The best Sales Arborists are part arborist, part advisor, and never satisfied with what they already know.



  • Think Ahead to Solve Problems: You own your pipeline. Leads help — but top performers generate their own opportunities and never let it run dry. You're thinking about next month's revenue while closing this week's deals.



  • Be Adaptable: Every client, property, and tree situation is different. You read the room, adjust your approach, and find the right solution for each scope.



  • Loyalty to the Team: Operations executes what you sell. You scope jobs accurately, communicate clearly with Crew Leads, and don't oversell into chaos. You set the company up to deliver, not just to take the work.



  • Have the Motivation to Be the Best: You produce. This isn't a "relationship manager" role — you're expected to close consistently. The discipline to follow through is what separates the top reps from the rest.

    Qualifications

    This role is for a driven sales professional with measurable results.



  • ISA Certified Arborist, or willingness to obtain certification (company-paid training and certification)



  • 1 year sales experience with measurable results



  • Valid driver's license



  • Strong communication, organization, and follow-up discipline



  • Comfortable working independently in a field-based role



  • Proficient with CRM systems and basic technology



  • Ability To:

    • Identify common tree species and conditions
    • Diagnose basic pest and disease issues
    • Recommend appropriate treatments and services


  • English proficiency



  • Authorized to work in the United States

    Preferred:



  • Tree care, landscaping, or arboriculture experience

    Why Alpine

    We're growing — and we're looking for people who want to grow with us. That means real training, real equipment, and a real career path in one of New Jersey's top tree care companies.

    • Real Training, High-Tech Equipment: ISA Certified Arborists on staff, ANSI Z133 standards on every job, and the best gear in the industry — including the Tree-MEK, one of the most capable cranes in the region.
    • Clear Advancement: Ground crew become climbers. Climbers become operators. Operators become crew leads. We promote from within whenever we can, and we pay for the certifications that get you there.
    • Team-First Culture: No passengers, no ego. We hire people who want to be part of something — not people clocking in.

    Compensation & Benefits



  • Pay

    • Draw against uncapped commission, with the draw amount based on experience in year one and prior sales performance in year two and beyond.
    • Experienced first-year representatives typically earn $90,000–$100,000. Year-two representatives often earn $115,000 , with top performers exceeding $200,000 annually.

    Every Full-time Alpine Employee Gets:

    Health & Wellness:

    • Health insurance
    • Dental insurance
    • Vision insurance


  • Time Off:

    • Paid time off
    • Paid holidays
    • Paid sick time (in line with NJ policy)


  • Financial:

    • Competitive pay based on performance, not just tenure
    • 401(k) with 3% company match


  • Growth & Development:

    • On-the-job training from day one
    • Ongoing professional development
    • Company-paid certifications — ISA Arborist and Pesticide Applicator licenses where applicable
    • Clear advancement path with internal promotion priority

    Who This Role Is For

    This Role Is For Someone Who:

    Enjoys building relationships and closing business

    Takes ownership of results, not excuses

    • Want inbound leads handed to you rather than building your own pipeline
    • Find pricing conversations or asking for the close uncomfortable
    • Prefer a structured, supervised role over independent field work
