This is not a foreman position. You will work directly with our Lead Climber, who oversees technical removals and provides ongoing training and mentorship. Your primary responsibility will be climbing and pruning tree crowns while assisting with technical removals as your experience grows.

If you take pride in producing high-quality pruning work, maintaining a safe jobsite, and continually improving your skills, we'd like to hear from you.

• Follow ANSI Z133 safety standards and all company safety policies.
• Inspect climbing gear before each use and report any safety concerns.
• Operate chainsaws, pole saws, chippers, and other tree care equipment safely.
• Maintain a clean, organized, and professional jobsite.
• Work efficiently with the ground crew to complete jobs safely and productively.
• Represent Highest Standard LLC professionally while interacting with clients.

Qualifications

• Working knowledge of modern climbing systems and techniques.
• Basic chainsaw proficiency while working aloft.
• Strong understanding of tree care safety practices.
• Valid driver's license preferred.
• Ability to perform physically demanding work in Arizona's outdoor climate.

Preferred Qualifications

• ISA Certified Arborist or actively working toward certification.
• Experience with basic rope rigging.
• Experience operating aerial lifts or skid steers.
• CDL is a plus but not required.

What Success Looks Like

The ideal candidate:

• Produces clean, natural-looking pruning work.
• Prioritizes safety above all else.
• Takes pride in craftsmanship and attention to detail.
• Works well as part of a team.
• Is dependable, punctual, and eager to learn.
• Treats clients and their property with professionalism and respect.

Career Growth

We believe in developing arborists, not just employees.

As you grow with Highest Standard LLC, you'll receive ongoing training in:

• Advanced climbing techniques
• Rigging and technical removals
• Crane-assisted removals
• Advanced structural pruning
• Arboricultural diagnostics
• ISA Certification preparation
• Leadership opportunities
