Overview:
We’re hiring motivated individuals who want to build a career in tree work. This is an entry-level position with hands-on training and real growth opportunities.

If you like working outdoors, staying active, and learning a skilled trade, this could be a great fit.

Responsibilities:

  • Assist with tree removal and pruning
  • Support rigging operations (ropes, pulleys, lowering limbs)
  • Operate equipment such as chippers and assist with bucket truck work
  • Maintain clean and organized job sites
  • Follow all safety procedures

What to Expect:
This is a physically demanding, fast-paced job.

You’ll be working with heavy equipment and handling large material from heights. It requires focus, awareness, and the ability to stay “locked in” throughout the day.

Requirements:

  • Reliable and strong work ethic
  • Able to lift 50 lbs and perform physical labor daily

Growth Opportunity:
This is a trade with real advancement potential. Pay increases are based on performance, physical capability, and skill development. Opportunities to move into climber or crew leader roles over time.

Apply if you’re ready to work hard and build a career—not just looking for a job.

This entry-level role provides comprehensive training opportunities to build your expertise while contributing to the health and beauty of outdoor spaces. We’re dedicated to supporting your growth every step of the way!
