Jobbeschreibung

Arborist Climber / Crew Lead (with Sales Opportunity)

Rayzor Edge Tree Care – Waterloo Region, Qualified candidates from Ontario only.

Rayzor Edge Tree Service is a growing, independently owned tree care business.

We’re hiring an experienced arborist climber ASAP as we continue to grow and add a second, pruning-focused crew.

This is a hands-on leadership position— you will be climbing, running jobs, and identifying additional work opportunities where appropriate.

What This Role Is

This is a hybrid position combining:

• Climber — performing pruning and removals
• Crew Lead — running the job site and managing the crew
• Sales — identifying and communicating additional work opportunities onsite, as well as the opportunity to progress into more sales.

This is not a desk sales role. This is not just a climber role.

Why This Role Is Different

• Shared climbing load, less burnout, more longevity
• More efficient jobs and better workflow
• Strong team structure - not one guy carrying everything

You’ll have support from a secondary climber, while still owning the job outcome.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Climbing and performing pruning (ISA standards) and removals
• Leading the crew and keeping jobs efficient and organized
• Managing job flow, safety, and work planning
• Communicating with clients on site
• Identifying additional work opportunities (when appropriate)
• Ensuring every job meets our cleanup and quality standards

Our Standard (This Matters Here)

We are a premium service company.

• Cleanup is non-negotiable— every job, every time

You are responsible for making sure that standard is met.

Winter Setup (Big Advantage)

• Jan-March: shift into land clearing operations
• Stay working year-round while avoiding harsh winter climbing

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 2+ years climbing experience
• Strong ability in pruning and/or removals
• Experience leading jobs or crews (or ready to step into it)
• Comfortable speaking with clients and spotting additional work
• Strong focus on quality and cleanup
• G license required (DZ is a strong asset)
• ISA Certification (or working toward it) = asset

What You Get

• Competitive pay (based on experience)
• Additional earning potential through sales
• Year-round work
• Opportunity to grow within a rapidly expanding company
• A role that transitions long-term into less climbing, more leadership/sales

Who This Is NOT For

• Climbers who don’t want responsibility
• People uncomfortable talking to clients
• Anyone who cuts corners or leaves a mess

Arborist Climber / Tree Care Technician (Immediate Start)

Rayzor Edge Tree Service – Waterloo Region

We’re hiring an experienced arborist climber ASAP as we continue to grow and add a second, pruning-focused crew.

This is for the secondary climber on that new crew, working alongside a lead climber — with a strong focus on tree care, pruning, and preservation, not just removals.

This is not an entry-level job. We need someone who can get in a tree and work productively from day one.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Climbing and performing precision pruning (ISA standards)
• Supporting technical removals when required (but pruning is the focus)
• Assisting the lead climber with efficient canopy work
• Operating bucket truck, chipper, and saws
• Delivering clean, professional jobs clients notice

What Makes This Role Different

• Pruning-focused crew - less hack-and-slash, more skilled tree care
• Learn and refine proper arboriculture techniques, not just removals
• Work alongside a dedicated crew leader, not thrown in blind
• Be part of a company actively scaling and investing in growth

Our Standard (This Matters Here)

We are a premium service company, and we take that seriously.

• We aim for an exceptional customer experience on every job
• We strive for perfection in job satisfaction — not 'good enough'
• Cleanup is non-negotiable— when we leave, the property should look better than when we arrived

If you take pride in your work and care about the finished product, you’ll fit in well here.

What We’re Looking For

• Minimum 1 year climbing experience (production work)
• Comfortable working in the canopy with ropes, positioning, and saws
• Interest in tree health, pruning, and long-term care
• Shows up on time and pulls their weight
• G license required (DZ is a big plus)
• ISA Certified (or working toward it) = bonus

Why This Job Is Attractive

• Growing company – real opportunity to move up quickly
• Premium service company – we focus on quality, not racing to the bottom
• Jan-March: shift into land clearing work
• Run excavators, mulchers, forestry equipment
• Stay working while most tree companies slow down

What You Get

• Competitive pay (based on experience)
• Consistent, year-round work
• Clear path to lead climber or crew leader
• Work with a tight team that takes pride in the finished product

Who This Is NOT For

• No experience climbers
• Guys who only want to do removals
• Anyone who cuts corners or leaves a mess
