What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tree Climber position at Joshua Tree Experts?
Join Joshua Tree Experts Tampa as a Tree Climber and be part of a professional, growing tree care operation delivering safe, high-quality work across residential and commercial properties.
We're launching a new territory with a strong focus on safety, craftsmanship, and teamwork. This is a hands-on climbing role where you'll perform removals, pruning, and rigging as part of a tight-knit crew, while continuing to build your skills and take on greater responsibility over time.
About The Role
Tree Climbers work closely with Crew Leaders and ground crews to safely execute technical tree work. 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.

If you're a motivated Tree Climber looking to build your skills and grow with a professional team, we'd love to hear from you.
