Lead a Crew. Set the Standard.
Priority Tree Service is a growing, family-owned tree service company serving Southwest Washington. We're looking for an experienced Crew Foreman who takes pride in leading people, producing quality work, and setting the standard for professionalism and safety.
This is an opportunity to help build a company, not simply fill a position. If you're someone who enjoys leading by example, solving problems, developing others, and taking pride in every completed job, we'd like to meet you.

- Strong climbing, rigging, pruning, and removal experience.
- Excellent leadership and communication skills.
- Strong commitment to safe work practices.
- Valid driver's license (clean driving record preferred).
- ISA Certified Arborist certification is a plus but not required.
Who Will Thrive Here
This position is a great fit for someone who:
- Takes pride in leading a professional crew.
- Prioritizes safety without cutting corners.
- Communicates respectfully with customers and coworkers.
- Takes ownership of their work and leads by example.
- Cares for equipment as if it were their own.
- Enjoys mentoring and developing less experienced team members.
- Leaves every job site cleaner than they found it.
- Wants to continuously improve and help build a respected company.
This May Not Be the Right Fit If You...

- Don't enjoy leading and developing others.
- Struggle with professionalism or communication on the job.
- Believe "good enough" is good enough.
Why Join Priority Tree Service?
At Priority Tree Service, we believe professionalism extends beyond tree work. We invest in our people, maintain our equipment, communicate honestly with our customers, and expect every crew member to represent the company with integrity.
You'll work alongside experienced professionals using well-maintained equipment while performing a variety of technical tree work, including removals, pruning, rigging, hazard mitigation, and crane-assisted operations.
We're building a company our employees are proud to work for and our customers are confident recommending.
What We Offer
- Competitive compensation based on experience and leadership.
- Monday–Friday work schedule.
- Modern, well-maintained equipment.
- Opportunities to work on challenging and rewarding projects.
- Ongoing training and professional development.
- Performance-based advancement opportunities.
- A professional, team-oriented work environment built on respect and accountability.
Compensation
Pay is based on demonstrated experience, leadership ability, certifications, productivity, and commitment to safe, professional work.
Join Our Team
We're looking for more than experience.
We believe technical skills can always be improved. Integrity, professionalism, accountability, and a positive attitude are much harder to teach.
If you're the kind of leader who takes pride in developing a great crew, performing exceptional tree work, and helping build one of Southwest Washington's most respected tree service companies, we'd like to hear from you.
