This is not a job where we teach you the trade. We're looking for someone with at least 3 years in tree service who already knows how a removal goes, can run a saw and keeps himself out of the way of what's coming down. Full-time, year-round work with two crews.
You're on the ground running the job while the climber or the bucket works overhead. Dragging brush, feeding the chipper, running a saw on the wood, roping limbs down and keeping the drop zone clear. When the tree is down you clean the property up so it looks better than when we pulled in, then you help get the gear loaded and the trucks to the next address.
Brush to the chipper, wood cut and loaded, ropes handled when the climber needs them. You know where to stand and you keep your eyes up.
Bucking wood down on the ground all day. You should already be comfortable with a saw in your hands, not learning on our job site.
Raked, blown off, chips picked up, nothing left in the grass. The clean-up is what the homeowner remembers and what gets us the next job on that street.
Saws sharp and fueled, the chipper greased, gear put back where it belongs. Broken equipment costs the whole crew a day.
Getting the chip truck or the dump truck to the address and back. That's why the license is not optional.
Three years around tree work, minimum. Cutting firewood at home or a season of landscaping is not what we mean. If you've been on a crew through removals, storm work and big wood, you'll fit right in here.
Real crew time on real jobs. You know how a removal is staged and what the climber needs before he asks for it.
Comfortable cutting wood on the ground safely, all day, in any weather.
You'll be driving our trucks to jobs, so this one is required, not preferred.
Everybody on the crew has to understand a call out when a limb is coming down. That is a safety thing before it's anything else.
No exceptions on a crew running saws and heavy equipment. If that's a problem, this isn't the job for you.
Two crews depend on a full truck every morning. Being there on time is most of the job.
Neither of these is required, but if you have them, say so on the application and it will come up on the first call.
If you're licensed to move the bigger equipment, that's worth real money to a tree company.
Somebody who can keep a saw running right or sort out a chipper problem in the field saves the crew a whole day.
Name, number and a few quick questions. No resume needed.
We go over where you've worked, what you've run and what you're looking to make.
Come out on a job so both sides know it's a fit, then get on the schedule.
Quick form. We call or email you back.
Thanks for applying. Someone from Big Timber will call or email you shortly. Want to reach us first? Call 856-288-1793.
If you've got a few years in the trade, a license and you can run a saw, fill out the quick application. If you'd rather talk it through first, call and ask about the groundsman position.
