Opening Statement

This isn't your normal job posting. Can you tell by the job title? We looked through a bunch of comparable jobs and it made us sad. Most of these job listings are "canned" and full of buzzwords. If we were looking for a new job these posts wouldn't excite us. So, here is our attempt to find you... the right person for our team. There is only one of you out there and we are looking forward to meeting you. Please read ahead and follow the instructions or this won't get very far.

A Day in the Life

Morning Preparation (6:30 AM - 7:00 AM)

Your day starts early, with the practical tasks of getting ready for the day ahead. After checking your gear, you load up your truck.

All-Company Meeting (7:00 AM)

The week kicks off with our Monday morning all-company meeting. This is a time for discussing the safety topic of the week and catching up on general announcements. It's an opportunity to connect with your colleagues and get aligned for the week’s work.

Heading to the Job Site

After the meeting, you and your crew load into one of our heavy-duty pickup trucks and drive to the day's job site.

On-Site Operations

After a pre-work operational check, you operate the bucket to reach work areas for pruning or tree removal. Your role involves maneuvering the lift safely and efficiently, following the guidelines for lower controls and mechanical lowering.
