Careers

What We Look For

• Care about the work. We want people who take pride in doing tree removal properly, not just quickly.
• Straight talk with customers. You will be in someone's home or business explaining what you found. Plain language beats jargon.
• Reliability. Showing up when you said you would matters more here than any single line on a resume.
• Respect for the property. Protecting the space, cleaning up, and leaving it better than you found it.
• Safety, every time. Following safe practice is part of the job, not an extra.

Experience in tree removal or a related trade helps. If you have the attitude and not yet the trade experience, say so, because we do train.
