Full Job Description

Overview

Ken's Tree Service is hiring an experienced groundsman to join a small, tight-knit crew delivering tree care services to apartment communities, HOA properties, and commercial facilities throughout the Tampa Bay area. This is not a revolving door operation — our crew works together daily, and the people on it matter.

We run organized job sites with modern equipment and defined processes. Every team member uses our mobile field platform to document work throughout the day — it takes 30 seconds, and it keeps the whole operation running smoothly. If you're someone who shows up, works hard, follows the system, and takes pride in doing things right, this is a crew worth being on.

We're growing. We're adding commercial contracts and expanding our capabilities. For the right person, this isn't just a groundsman job — it's a ground-floor opportunity to grow with a company that's investing in its people and its future.

Operate chainsaws safely and effectively
Operate ground equipment including compact loaders, chippers, and stump grinders

Ensure all work meets our quality standards at commercial and residential properties
Communicate clearly with team members and on-site property managers

Proficiency with chainsaw operation
Valid Florida driver's license with a clean driving record
Comfortable driving trucks and trailers, including backing up trailers
Comfortable using a smartphone for daily work documentation and apps
Strong work ethic, reliable attendance, and the ability to work independently when directed
Physical capacity to perform demanding outdoor work in Florida's climate year-round
Ability to pass a background check and drug screening
Saturday availability when needed at overtime rates

Preferred Qualifications

CDL (Class A or B) — a significant plus but not required
Experience operating compact loaders (Avant, Dingo, or similar)
Experience operating grapple trucks
Familiarity with rigging fundamentals

What We Offer

Competitive pay ($20–$23 per hour based on experience)
401(k) plan with employer match
Medical, dental, and vision insurance
Life insurance
Paid vacation and holidays
Modern, well-maintained equipment
Consistent full-time schedule (typically 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM, Monday–Friday)
Professional work environment with defined systems and clear expectations
Real opportunity for advancement as the company grows
Year-round work serving commercial and residential clients

Schedule

Full-time, Monday–Friday with Saturday/overtime availability when needed
