Arborist ground crew member - $18-20/hr DOE

Vitalitree LLC is a small arborist collective focused on quality tree service in the Seattle area. Currently we are running two crews with two owners, but will be expanding as our demand increases. Our model is unique in that it allows for a path to eventual co-ownership in the company for the right people who move up the ladder, this takes years of hard work, study and self motivation. We get most of our business off of review based websites such as yelp and Angie's List or referals, and we are committed to keeping a high standard of quality work. We focus on proper tree pruning and simple to complex tree removals, we also do hedge trimming, tree planting, soil improvements, and tree injections a well as processing logs into slaps and re-purposing the “waste” we generate. We are looking for someone with a passion for trees and working outdoors who would like to learn how to become a skilled arborist.

The right person for the job will be expected to do the following tasks

• Hauling large branches and tree parts out of back yards and through gates/around
  houses neatly and without scuffing things up
• Provide support for climbers by retrieving tools and tying them on
• Rope work including lowering branches and tree parts, pulling over tree parts and knot tying skills
• Raking and cleaning up debris running a blower leaving job sites neat and tidy
• Use of dangerous power equipment including Chainsaws, Handsaws, Wood chipper, ect.
• Hedge trimming, tree pruning, and working up to climbing and tree removal
• Keen sense of safety and seeing what is going on around them
• Able to lift heavy loads and pull heavy loads with ropes

We are hoping to hire someone committed to becoming an ISA certified arborist and advancing in the field, we plan on expanding our company and will need people to take over as crew leads and lead climbers with a path towards co-ownership some day. Experience with chainsaws is a plus but not required. What is required is an enthusiasm to learn with a focus on safety and quality work. This can be a very
physically demanding job and strength and endurance are valuable assets for a tree
worker. This job has many hazards and we promote a safe sober environment and
provide all necessary PPE including hard had, eye protection, gloves, ect. We are a
positive group of people and really love our jobs and have fun in the process, but we are serious when needed, and special care must always be taken when tree parts are falling from above. Training on proper pruning, climbing, knots, use of equipment, and preparing for and passing ISA exam come with day to day work.

Compensation starts at $18 an hour and goes up as skills and knowledge increases. All pay increases are congruent with passing certain tests of knowledge on tree biology and proper tree care, study materials provided by the company.
