Part-Time Tower Climber (As-Needed / On-Call)
$36 – $40+ per hour
Flexible, project-based work for experienced climbers.
We are a radio tower company looking for reliable, experienced climbers to join us on an as-needed basis. Jobs typically last 1–2+ days at a time and come up periodically throughout the year. This is a great opportunity for someone who already has another flexible job and wants to pick up high-paying work when it fits their schedule.
What the Work Looks Like
- Climb radio towers to perform basic maintenance and light installation tasks (turning wrenches, tightening hardware, simple adjustments, etc.).
- Work under clear direction from the ground team or a lead climber.
- Short-duration projects (usually 1 or 2 days per job).
- We only schedule you when you’re free and will coordinate projects in advance, typically with 1-2 week notice.
- The company provides all tools and any additional fall protection equipment required for the job.
Ideal Candidate
We’re looking for someone who:
- Has rock climbing or tower climbing experience (this is required — we need people who are already comfortable and confident working at height).
- Is in excellent physical condition and good overall health.
- Can reliably follow directions and work safely even when receiving instructions from the ground or a second climber.
- Is dependable and flexible — you can let us know when you’re available and commit to the job once scheduled.
- Takes safety seriously and works well as part of a small team.
Requirements
- Prior rock climbing or tower climbing experience (required)
- Industrial-grade full-body climbing harness with dorsal D-ring required for tower work. Candidates who already own their own properly rated harness are preferred. We will provide a company-issued harness to otherwise strong candidates. Any company-issued harness remains company property.
- Company provides industrial hard hat with chin strap. Personal hard hats are acceptable only if they meet ANSI standards and include a secure chin strap. Rock climbing helmets are not suitable.
- Strong physical fitness and comfort working at heights
- Appropriate work boots and gloves
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- Ability to pass a background check and drug screening
- Must be able to commit to scheduled 1–2 day jobs once confirmed
This role is not full-time and is not steady weekly work. It’s best suited for experienced climbers who want occasional, well-paying days without a rigid schedule.
Compensation & Perks
- $36 – $40+ per hour (depending on experience and project)
- Paid for all hours worked on site
- Short, defined projects — no long-term commitment required
- Clear communication and support from the ground team
If you’re an experienced climber looking for flexible, high-paying part-time work that lets you use your skills without a fixed schedule, we’d like to hear from you.
To Apply:
Please send your resume and a short note about your climbing experience and availability (including whether you have your own harness and helmet). We review applications on a rolling basis and will reach out to qualified candidates to discuss the next steps.
