Tree Climber — Schneider Tree Care You can't do this type of work. It's hot in the Summer and cold in the Winter. You'll spend your day thirty, sixty, eighty feet off the ground, trusting your gear, your training, and the guy on the ground running the rigging. One bad call up there and it's the difference between a job well done and the destruction of a multi-million dollar home — or worse. Don't waste your time applying, there are softer, less meaningful jobs out there. You're still reading? Hey if you really think you've got what it takes to climb, cut, and come down at the end of the day proud of the work — and not sitting in the truck texting your significant other about how much of a mistake this was — then let's see what you've got. If you're looking for an easy paycheck, this isn't it. If you don't like working hard, being held accountable, or following safety procedures, keep scrolling. If showing up late, cutting corners, or blaming others is your thing, you won't last here. But— If you take pride in your work, If you want to be part of a crew that actually has your back, If you want to get better, learn more, and build something real, You might be exactly who we're looking for.
