Job description

# Sales Arborist## Who We AreAlpine Tree Service is a high-growth, full-service tree care company serving residential and commercial clients across New Jersey.

We are building a team of professionals, not just workers.## The RoleThe **Sales Arborist** is a production sales role. You'll meet clients, diagnose their needs, design solutions, and close work at strong margins.

Here's what that looks like in practice:* ### **Actively Seek Knowledge:** Tree knowledge, sales skill, and efficiency — this role rewards people who actively level up. The best Sales Arborists are part arborist, part advisor, and never satisfied with what they already know.* ### **Think Ahead to Solve Problems:** You own your pipeline. Leads help — but top performers generate their own opportunities and never let it run dry. You're thinking about next month's revenue while closing this week's deals.* ### **Be Adaptable:** Every client, property, and tree situation is different. You read the room, adjust your approach, and find the right solution for each scope.* ### **Loyalty to the Team:** Operations executes what you sell. You scope jobs accurately, communicate clearly with Crew Leads, and don't oversell into chaos. You set the company up to deliver, not just to take the work.* ### **Have the Motivation to Be the Best:** You produce. This isn't a "relationship manager" role — you're expected to close consistently. The discipline to follow through is what separates the top reps from the rest.## QualificationsThis role is for a driven sales professional with measurable results.* ### 1+ year sales experience with measurable results* ### Valid driver's license* ### Strong communication, organization, and follow-up discipline* ### Comfortable working independently in a field-based role* ### Proficient with CRM systems and basic technology* ### Ability to: + Identify common tree species and conditions + Diagnose basic pest and disease issues + Recommend appropriate treatments and services* ### English proficiency* ### Authorized to work in the United States**Preferred:*** ### Tree care, landscaping, or arboriculture experience* ### ISA Arborist Certification (or must obtain — Alpine will support and pay for certification)## Why AlpineWe're growing — and we're looking for people who want to grow with us.
