Arborist Crew Captain - SPRING 2024

NOW HIRING FOR SPRING OF 2024!

ABOUT US: Timberscapes Inc. is a growing Arborist company that specializes in tree removal and maintenance, and we like to have fun! If you ever wished you could spend your days monkeying around in the trees or digging in the sand box, we might be for you. It’s become a bit cliché, but let’s be real, a job only feels like a job if it’s boring... so we do some cool stuff too. Post-work barbecues are mandatory, and weekly breakfast meetings are how we fuel up and ensure we're all on the same page. Enjoying what we do is just as important as getting the job done right! As a top tier Arborist company, we’re able to complete any size tree job and we're always looking for cool people to join our team. You want in?

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS ROLE:

EXPERIENCE:

• DZ License or higher with clean driving record
• 5 + years in Arborist role and can handle the big trees with ease
• 1 Year leadership position on Arborist crew

You can lead the crew on the hottest days without breaking a sweat. Your past teams have loved and respected you. You genuinely connect with clients and crew members, good at hyping up the crew when things go well, and you keep them cool and calm when sh** hits the fan. You're the leader that the crews are not afraid to ask questions. Moderately skilled in computers, smart phone, iPad, and social media. Clean cut and well spoken.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL: Does the mustard stain on that guy’s shirt bother you? Good, you’re probably hypersensitive to small details, and that’s okay. We need that. A good captain has eagle eyes that see the pruners someone left under the patio table.

PROBLEM SOLVING: When an issue pops up, do you freak out? Or do you think of it like a challenging puzzle? Whether it be a breakdown in equipment, communication, or when the weather takes a turn for the worse; you systematically figure it out and keep everyone on course.

ORGANIZATION: You never forget to complete the checklists that you are responsible for. You understand the importance of a clean truck and you always do up your laces!

WHAT YOU’D DO: You’re leading an Arborist crew, but you’re doing it right. You’re making sure that the daily and weekly checklists are always done. You’re able to organize a productive team and eliminate down-time. In the morning, you might get to work a little bit early to make sure that we have all the supplies and equipment that we need for the day. If you think that something's missing, you figure out how to get it. From up in the tree, you're able to see the whole site and keep everyone on track. You’re like the conductor of an orchestra. Clients feel comfortable and informed when you meet with them. If you notice something needs to be done, you sell the client on it and document everything. You’re responsible for training employees on safety protocols, and walking them through their initial orientation. You’re just as skilled at climbing trees as you are at leading the crew, but you’re also eager to learn and grow too.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU:

• A leadership role in a high-quality, growing company with the ambition to expand
• Freedom to offer feedback on a weekly basis to your supervisor and to be heard
• A flexible work environment (you need to pick up the kids at 4:00 one day? We can work something out)
• Cash for gear and equipment
• Competitive pay
• $500 bonus to sign on (you get this after 3 months)
• Do you want to work with your friend? Refer them to work for our company and receive a $100 a month bonus for as long as they stay with us)
• Winter vacation
• Company uniforms (our jackets are sweet), you’ll be geared up with the best high vis clothing.
• An energetic work environment. No one likes working with someone who’s in a bad mood. Right? We take pride in our work while making sure everyone has freedom to joke around. If you’re not happy we will always want to know about it.
