$1,500 after 60 days + $3,000 after 6 months, subject to meeting the company's retention and performance requirements About the Position We are a new and growing professional tree-service company looking for an experienced Lead Tree Climber who wants the opportunity to grow with the business from the ground up. This position will begin part-time, with hours based on our scheduled workload. As the company grows and our job volume increases, we intend to increase hours, build a larger crew, and create additional leadership opportunities. We are not simply looking for someone to climb trees. We are looking for someone who can eventually become the owner's right-hand person in the field — someone who can lead by example, help manage employees, communicate professionally with customers, maintain safety standards, protect company equipment, and keep jobs moving when the owner is not physically on the job site. For the right person, this can grow into a long-term Crew Leader / Field Manager position with additional responsibility and compensation.

Compensation Starting pay:

$40•50 per hour, depending on experience, skill level, leadership ability, and overall qualifications.

Additional compensation includes:

$1,500 retention bonus after 60 days $3,000 retention bonus after 6 months Performance-based raises as the company grows Additional performance and production bonuses may become available Opportunity for increased hours and compensation as workload increases Opportunity to move into a larger crew-management role We want to reward the person who helps us build this company, performs at a high level, takes responsibility, and becomes someone we can consistently depend on. Schedule & Hours This is a part-time position to start. Because we are a new company building our customer base, hours may vary depending on scheduled tree work. Some weeks may be busier than others. Applicants should understand that this is not currently a guaranteed 40-hour-per-week position. Our goal is to continue building the business, increase the workload, add additional employees, and eventually provide the right person with more consistent hours and greater responsibility. We are looking for someone who sees the opportunity to grow with the company instead of simply filling a temporary position. What You'll Be Responsible For This is a hands-on climbing and leadership position.

Responsibilities may include:

Climbing trees using professional climbing systems, ropes, saddles, and equipment Tree removals, pruning, trimming, and technical tree work Setting up and operating rigging systems Safely lowering limbs and heavy wood around homes, buildings, vehicles, landscaping, utilities, and other property Operating chainsaws and tree-service equipment Operating bucket trucks when qualified and necessary Assisting with ground operations when needed Leading and directing ground crew members Helping keep employees productive and jobs moving efficiently Helping organize the daily job site Making sure employees understand their responsibilities before work begins Reviewing daily safety procedures with the crew Making sure required safety logs and checklists are completed Inspecting climbing gear, ropes, saddles, chainsaws, trucks, trailers, chippers, and other equipment Removing unsafe or damaged equipment from service Reporting equipment problems immediately Helping determine what equipment will be needed for upcoming jobs Helping coordinate equipment rentals, pickups, and deliveries when necessary Keeping trucks, tools, climbing equipment, and work areas organized Communicating with the owner regarding job progress, problems, customers, employees, and equipment Responding to important work-related calls and messages Helping train new employees as the company grows Helping supervise future ground crew members Maintaining professional behavior around customers Communicating respectfully with homeowners Making sure customers understand what is happening on the job when appropriate Helping make sure the customer is satisfied before leaving Keeping job sites clean, safe, and organized Making sure customer property is protected Helping build a crew that works safely, professionally, and efficiently Leadership Opportunity As the company grows, we want the right person to take on more responsibility. Eventually, this position may involve helping oversee the field operation when the owner is unavailable or working somewhere else.

That may include:

Who We're Looking For We are looking for someone who is: An experienced professional tree climber Experienced with removals and pruning Experienced with rigging and technical removals Comfortable working around homes and valuable property Experienced with chainsaws and tree-service equipment Safety-conscious Reliable Punctual Professional Organized Able to communicate clearly Able to lead other employees Able to take direction while also taking initiative Able to stay calm and make good decisions on difficult jobs Willing to work on the ground when necessary Able to work in a physically demanding outdoor environment Someone who takes care of company equipment Someone who respects customers and their property Someone the owner can trust to represent the company professionally Interested in helping build a growing business Driving Requirements A valid driver's license and responsible driving history are required. A CDL is a major plus. Depending on qualifications, responsibilities may eventually include: Driving company trucks Pulling trailers Moving equipment between job sites Picking up rental equipment Transporting tools and equipment Helping make sure the correct equipment arrives at each job Because this position can develop into a leadership role, reliability behind the wheel is important. Safety & Equipment Responsibility Safety is a major part of our company. The Lead Climber / Crew Leader will help make sure: A job-site safety review is completed before work begins Employees understand the work plan Required PPE is being used Climbing equipment is inspected Rigging equipment is inspected Chainsaws and tools are checked Trucks, trailers, and chippers are operated safely Unsafe conditions are addressed Damaged equipment is removed from service Equipment problems are reported Customer property is protected Employees follow company safety procedures throughout the job Production is important, but safety, professionalism, and protecting the customer's property come first. Growing With the Company We want applicants to understand exactly where the company is today. We are new and building our workload, so this position starts part-time. We are looking for someone who understands the opportunity of getting involved early. As we bring in more work, our goal is to: Increase hours → build a dependable crew → hire additional employees → promote strong leaders → increase responsibility and compensation. If you help us build a successful operation and prove that you can be trusted to lead it, we want your position and compensation to grow with the company. This is not an ownership or partnership position, but the right employee can become an extremely important part of the operation and be compensated accordingly. Future Opportunities As the company becomes larger and more established, opportunities may include: Increased hourly compensation Additional performance bonuses Production incentives Crew-leader pay Management compensation Additional paid time off or other benefits as the company develops Company phone or phone allowance Work clothing or boot allowance Climbing gear allowance CDL incentives Increased responsibility Full-time employment Opportunity to help train and manage additional crews Future benefits and compensation will depend on company growth, job performance, and the responsibilities of the position.

Someone who shows up when they say they will. Someone who takes care of equipment. Someone who doesn't need to be constantly reminded what needs to be done. Someone who can climb, work hard, communicate, lead, and take responsibility. And most importantly, someone who wants the opportunity to help build something instead of simply collecting a paycheck and moving on to the next job. If you're an experienced climber who wants strong hourly pay, retention bonuses, leadership opportunities, and the chance to grow alongside a new tree-service company, we'd like to talk with you.
