Join a Team That Values True Arborists – Not Just Tree Workers

You’ve invested time, strength, and heart into mastering this trade. You know the importance of tree biology, proper pruning, and safe climbing techniques — and you deserve to put those skills to work where they’re respected and continually developed.

At Wachtel Tree Science, arborists are more than hands on a rope — they're experts, problem-solvers, and stewards of our urban forests. We’re building a team of professionals who take pride in doing things the right way and lifting each other up along the path.

What Drives Us -  Our core values shape every client interaction and every service we provide:

Safety – It isn’t just a policy — it’s our culture. We invest in our people, equipment, training, and planning to ensure every team member goes home safe.

Initiative – We reward people who step up, think ahead, and act with purpose. Your ideas and leadership matter here.

Passion – We love this work. We take pride in healthy trees and happy clients — because we want our clients to enjoy the benefits of their trees.

Innovation – From modern climbing techniques to advanced plant health care and tools, we’re always improving and adapting.

Team – We support each other in the field and in life. No egos — just professionals who work hard, look out for one another, and grow together.

What You’ll Do With Us:

Champion Tree Health and Structure
Perform thoughtful pruning and canopy work to promote strong structure and long-term vitality — backed by industry-leading training and equipment.

Protect & Strengthen Urban Forests
Diagnose pests and disease, apply treatments responsibly, and use soil-health practices grounded in science and arboriculture standards.

Execute Technical Removals With Confidence
When removal is necessary, your skills and judgment are supported by a safety-first team with proper gear, planning, and communication.

Plant With Purpose
Help select and install trees that will thrive — shaping the landscape for generations.

Lead Through Knowledge & Communication
Advise homeowners, commercial partners, and municipalities using trusted arboricultural principles and clear, professional communication.

Why Arborists Choose Us

A team culture grounded in safety & respect
Opportunities for certifications, advancement, and leadership
A place where ideas matter and initiative is rewarded
Work that challenges you and keeps you learning
A company that values passion, innovation, and teamwork

If you’re a skilled arborist — or a developing one with hunger, pride, and drive — and you’re looking for a place that backs you, builds you up, and shares your passion for trees and safety, we’d love to meet you.
