Typical responsibilities include:

  • Working as part of a crew to provide high-quality tree care, including pruning, removals, and cable bracing
  • Safely operating climbing gear, chainsaws, and other equipment
  • Applying proper pruning techniques and tree care practices
  • Following safety procedures at all times

    • Tree care safety standards
    • Chainsaw and equipment operation

About SavATree

SavATree was founded 45 years ago with a mission to preserve trees threatened by the gypsy moth epidemic. Since then, we've grown into a nationwide leader in tree, shrub, and lawn care services. Unlike companies that focus on removal, our work is rooted in preservation and care.

We are a values-driven organization built on teamwork, integrity, respect, and a relentless commitment to making a positive impact. When you join us, you'll find a collaborative, competitive, and caring environment where your contributions matter. As we like to say: When you work here, you thrive here.

Physical Requirements

The physical demands of this role must be met to successfully perform the essential functions of the job. This position requires climbing trees, working at heights, and lifting and/or moving up to fifty (50) pounds regularly.

Equal Opportunity

SavATree is an Equal Opportunity Employer and a Drug-Free Workplace. We are committed to creating a diverse environment where all employees feel valued and respected.

Equal Opportunity Employer/Protected Veterans/Individuals with Disabilities This employer is required to notify all applicants of their rights pursuant to federal employment laws. For further information, please review the Know Your Rights notice from the Department of Labor.
