About Us
RTEC has been serving Northern Virginia since 1996, focused on practical, science-based tree care and long-term client relationships. We take pride in doing things the right way—protecting properties, improving landscapes, and building a team that shows up, follows through, and keeps getting better.


We are a performance-driven company built for producers---where strong sales professionals have the autonomy to move fast, are expected to manage their own proposals and workflow, and are accountable for their results.



The Opportunity
This is a field-driven sales role with real ownership.


As an Experienced Sales Arborist, you will manage the full client lifecycle—from initial consultation through proposal, execution, and long-term relationship management. This is not just a quoting role. You are responsible for building a high-quality book of business that is accurate, executable, and profitable.


What you will be doing:
  • Meet with residential, commercial, and select municipal clients to assess tree and plant health needs and provide clear, practical recommendations
  • Develop detailed, accurate proposals rooted in safety, science, and real-world execution
  • Manage the full sales cycle, including site visits, estimating, follow-up, approvals, and job coordination
  • Own your workflow end-to-end—balancing field time, client communication, proposals, and administrative follow-through
  • Maintain and grow a book of business through strong client relationships, referrals, and repeat work
  • Build and manage Plant Health Care (PHC) programs, including renewals and long-term care strategies
  • Stay on top of your pipeline: follow-ups, approvals, scheduling coordination, and job progression
  • Ensure all work sold is clear, accurate, and executable in the field
  • Partner closely with Production to ensure jobs are completed safely, efficiently, and as sold
  • Monitor job progress and support quality control to ensure client satisfaction
  • Adapt to changing priorities--weather, client needs, and operational realities shift daily
  • Identify and pursue new opportunities within existing and prospective client relationships
  • Support and mentor junior sales staff as needed, contributing to overall team performance

Sales Potential
This role is designed for a high-performing producer.
  • Typical annual sales volume: $1M–$3M+
  • Uncapped commission structure with strong earning potential
  • Opportunity to grow your book of business without artificial ceilings or territory constraints
If you are currently producing at a high level---or feel limited by structure, support, or earning caps—this is an opportunity to take full ownership of your production.



What You’re Accountable For
  • Meeting and exceeding individual revenue targets
  • Maintaining a high-quality, executable pipeline and book of business
  • Accurate estimating and clear scope development
  • Managing client experience from first contact through job completion
  • Consistent follow-up, communication, and CRM discipline
  • Ensuring what is sold can be executed safely, efficiently, and profitably
  • Supporting company safety standards, including driving and pesticide compliance
  • Contributing to team performance through collaboration and knowledge sharing

We Offer
  • Base pay + uncapped commission with performance-based upside
  • Company-provided vehicle, laptop, phone, and uniforms
  • Medical, Dental, & Vision
  • PTO and 6 paid holidays
  • Simple IRA (after eligibility period)
  • Ongoing training, ISA certification support, and continuing education
  • A stable company with a strong reputation and consistent workflow
  • A professional, safety-first environment focused on quality and continuous improvement
  • Clear path for advancement based on performance

Who You Are

  • Strong knowledge of tree and shrub care, including Plant Health Care programs
  • Able to diagnose issues, develop solutions, and clearly communicate recommendations to clients
  • Organized and self-directed--you can manage multiple jobs, clients, and priorities without constant oversight
  • Comfortable balancing fieldwork with CRM, proposal writing, and administrative follow-through
  • Strong communicator who builds trust with clients and works effectively with operations teams
  • Performance-driven and motivated by growth, accountability, and earning potential
  • Adaptable and steady under changing conditions and schedules

Background & Requirements
