The Ideal Candidate

We're looking for someone who takes ownership of their responsibilities and doesn't need constant supervision.

Someone who notices when equipment needs attention, when employees aren't following procedures, or when a job is falling behind—and takes action to correct it.

What We Offer

• Full-time, long-term career opportunity
• Leadership position within a growing company
• Supportive, family-owned work environment
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on company operations and growth
• Compensation based on qualifications and experience

If you have extensive tree service experience and the leadership skills to keep a crew organized, productive, and accountable, we encourage you to apply!

Pay: $75,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year
