Tree Climber • Lift Operator • Foreman

Outdoor Digs
Whitehouse, NJ Full Time
POSTED ON 9/26/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 11/24/2026

Most tree companies go quiet in January. We don't.
Pine Valley Tree Service — an Outdoor Digs company
$32-40 per hour overtime winter storm pay

Pine Valley has been climbing New Jersey trees since 1974. That name got built one clean takedown at a time, by guys who showed up, worked safe, and left the property better than they found it.

Today Pine Valley is owned and run by Outdoor Digs — a growing property services company that puts real money behind the crews: newer trucks, modern equipment, a full snow division, and enough work booked to keep you busy twelve months a year.

If you've ever spent February waiting on a phone call that didn't come, you already understand why this matters.

What we're hiring

What you'll be doing
Tree Climber: Rope and saddle removals, precision pruning, technical rigging on tight residential and commercial sites.
Lift Operator: Bucket work, aerial pruning and removals, safe setup and spotting.
Foreman: Everything above, plus running the job. Our foremen climb and run the bucket — they're the most capable guy on the crew, not the guy watching from the truck. You'll also handle job planning, safety, and making sure the job is left clean.

On the foreman role specifically: this is a working position. If you're a strong climber or operator who's ready to run a crew — or you already do both — that's exactly who we're looking for. Foreman pay reflects the fact that you're producing and leading.

What you get

  • Year-round work — tree care winter snow ops
  • Top pay based on experience, paid weekly.
  • Overtime and storm callout pay
  • Paid training and continuing education — [ISA cert / CDL / TCIA]
  • Modern, well-maintained equipment. You won't be fighting a saw that should've been retired in 2015
  • Benefits: PTO / 401k / Paid Holidays / Vacation Time

What we're looking for

  • 3 years tree service experience
  • Climbing, bucket, or crew leadership background
  • Safety-first — every day, not just on inspection day
  • You show up. On time. Every time.
  • You work well with a crew and you don't leave a mess behind
  • CDL is a plus, and we'll help you get one if you're serious

We don't expect perfection. We expect professionalism.

If you take pride in your work and you're tired of a company that treats you like a seasonal expense, come talk to us.
