    • Reliable transportation to and from work.
    • Ability to lift 75+ pounds repeatedly throughout the day.
    • Comfortable working outdoors in all weather conditions.
    • Ability to work at a fast pace while maintaining safety.
    • Previous tree service, landscaping, construction, or logging experience is preferred but not required.
    • Must be dependable, punctual, and willing to learn.

    What We're Looking For

    • Strong work ethic.
    • Positive attitude.
    • Team player.
    • Self-motivated.
    • Safety-minded.
    • Able to follow directions and communicate effectively.
    • Willing to work overtime during busy seasons and storm emergencies.

    Requirements

    • Ability to safely operate chainsaws or willingness to learn.
    • No fear of physical labor or working around heavy equipment.
    • Arrive on time every day ready to work.

    • On-the-job training.
    • Opportunity for advancement into climbing, equipment operation, and crew leadership positions.
