Full Job Description

Groundperson (Utility / ROW Tree Crew)

Build a Career in the Field — Not Just a Job

Riggs Tree Service is a leading force in Right-of-Way vegetation management, running a fleet of 800+ pieces of equipment and supporting major utility operations. We do not hire just anyone — we bring on hard-working, safety-driven operators who know how to perform in the field and take pride in the work. If you have experience around chainsaws, chippers, and active job sites, and you are ready to be part of a high-performance crew, we want to talk to you.

Pay Range

Wage is negotiable based on experience.
Top pay for top hands.

What You’ll Be Doing

You will be the backbone of the crew — keeping operations moving safely, efficiently, and professionally.

Equipment & Field Operations

Operate and support chainsaws and chippers in active job site conditions
Assist with tree felling, limbing, brush handling, and debris processing
Set up and maintain traffic control zones and safe work areas
Establish and maintain drop zones for cutting operations

Safety & Compliance (Non-Negotiable)

Follow all company safety standards, PPE requirements, and job briefings
Identify tree hazards, environmental risks, and unsafe conditions before they become problems
Prevent struck-by and equipment-related incidents through proper positioning and awareness
Maintain familiarity with SDS manuals and first aid procedures

Chipper & Equipment Responsibility

Perform daily inspections and pre-trip checks
Safely start, operate, and shut down chippers per SOP
Handle basic maintenance such as fluids, hoses, and components
Follow lockout/tagout procedures without exception

Crew Support

Drag, stack, and feed brush safely and efficiently
Communicate clearly with operators, climbers, and supervisors
Support overall crew productivity and job site flow

What We’re Looking For

We are not looking for entry-level — we are looking for people who can step in and perform.

Hands-on experience with chainsaws and/or chippers preferred
Utility, tree, construction, or other heavy outdoor work experience is a plus
Strong understanding of job site safety and PPE requirements
Ability to recognize hazards and think ahead in fast-moving environments
Team-first mindset with the ability to take direction and execute
First Aid/CPR is preferred, but not required
Ability to perform physically demanding work daily

Health insurance
Dental insurance
Vision insurance
401(k)
