What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tree Climber IMMEDIATELY HIRING! position at Joshua Tree Experts?
Join Joshua Tree Experts Denver North as our first Climber hire, and play a critical role in delivering safe, professional, high-quality tree care across residential and commercial properties.
We're building a strong, respectful, safety-first operation in Denver North, and the people who join us early will help set the standard for how work gets done in the field. This is a hands-on co-leadership role focused on executing day-to-day tree care operations while working within Joshua Tree Experts' proven systems and standards.
As a key member of our launch team, you'll help establish the field standards, culture, and professionalism that define our reputation as we grow.
About The Role
Tree Climbers work closely with Crew Leaders and Ground Crews to safely execute technical tree work, including removals, pruning, and rigging. You'll be part of a tight-knit crew with the opportunity to continue to build your skills and take on greater responsibility over time. This is also a customer-facing role - climbers are often visible to homeowners while work is being performed and are expected to communicate professionally and represent the Joshua Tree Experts brand on job sites.
What You'll Do
We invest in our climbers through paid training, classroom instruction, industry seminars, and support for certification testing and related expenses. As you grow your skills, you'll have opportunities to take on more advanced work and progress into Crew Leader or other senior field roles. We're committed to a safety-first, professional environment where people are supported as they grow.
