Position Summary

The ISA Certified Arborist (Sales & Climbing Hybrid) plays a dual role within the company—serving both as a knowledgeable sales consultant and a skilled climbing arborist. This position is responsible for diagnosing tree care needs, building client relationships, and producing high-quality tree work alongside the field team.

This role is designed for an arborist who values both craftsmanship and communication—someone who can identify proper solutions and help clients understand and commit to them, then also step into the field to help execute that work to company standards.

Core Responsibilities

1. Sales & Client Consultation (2 Days / Week)

Conduct on-site consultations for residential and select commercial clients
Assess tree health, structure, risk, and site conditions
Develop pruning, removal, and plant health care recommendations aligned with best practices (ANSI A300 standards)
Educate clients on tree biology, long-term care, and risk mitigation
Prepare and present written estimates in a clear and professional manner
Follow up on open proposals to maintain a strong close rate
Build trust-based relationships that reflect company values and long-term thinking
Coordinate with Operations Manager and Field Supervisor to ensure accurate job scoping and scheduling
Identify opportunities for additional services where appropriate (without overselling)

2. Climbing Arborist / Field Production (2 Days / Week)

Perform technical tree work including pruning, removals, and rigging
Lead or support safe and efficient job execution as part of a crew
Demonstrate advanced climbing systems and work positioning techniques
Ensure all work meets company standards for quality, safety, and aesthetics
Communicate job plans clearly with crew members
Assist with Job Safety Analyses (JSA) and hazard identification
Maintain and inspect climbing gear and equipment
Support training and mentorship of less experienced crew members
Step into informal leadership roles when appropriate on job sites

Key Competencies

Strong working knowledge of tree biology, pruning standards, and species-specific care
Ability to translate technical knowledge into clear, client-friendly communication
High level of proficiency in climbing, rigging, and aerial work
Solid understanding of safety protocols and risk management
Time management and ability to shift between sales and production roles effectively
Professional demeanor with both clients and crew members
Attention to detail in both written proposals and field execution

Qualifications

ISA Certified Arborist (required)
4–5 years of professional tree care experience
Demonstrated experience in both climbing and client interaction
Valid driver’s license with clean driving record
Ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions
Ability to lift 50+ lbs and perform physically demanding work

Performance Expectations

Maintain a strong estimate-to-close ratio aligned with company goals
Produce accurate, well-scoped estimates that minimize job friction
Execute or support field work that meets or exceeds company quality standards
Contribute positively to crew culture, teamwork, and communication
Demonstrate ongoing improvement in both sales effectiveness and technical skill
