Full Job Description

A Career Where Climbing Becomes Your Craft

If you love being outside, pushing your body, and learning technical skills, this role is built for you.

At All Natural Tree Experts, Apprentice Tree Climbers learn professional tree work from the ground up. You’ll start on the ground crew, master ropes and rigging, then earn your way into the canopy as a safe, skilled climber.

No prior tree experience required. Rock climbers, forestry students, former Scouts, athletes, and anyone who loves hard, physical work outdoors tend to crush it here.

What Makes This Role Different

Real career path: Ground → Apprentice Climber → Climber → Crew Leader.
True earning potential: $18-$22 per hour base with $10,000+ bonus potential based on performance. Actual per hour $22-$26.
Year-round work: We don’t “shut down for the season.”
Paid training & gear: We invest in your climbing skills and equipment as you progress.
Strong team culture: Safety-first, no divas, no slackers.
Benefits: Competitive hourly pay, overtime opportunities, paid time off, paid holidays, health and dental insurance.

What You’ll Actually Do

Start on the Ground

Drag brush, rake, chip limbs, and keep the job site clean.
Load / unload trucks, stage gear, and support climbers.
Learn saw safety, PPE, and jobsite communication.

Learn the Craft

Practice knots, rope handling, and basic rigging.
Learn how to spot hazards and read trees.
Shadow experienced climbers and crew leaders every day.

Grow Into the Canopy

Progress into basic climbing under close supervision.
Help with pruning, removals, and technical rigging as your skills grow.
Take on more responsibility and pay as you prove yourself.

Who Thrives Here

You should apply if you:

Have background in rock climbing, forestry, wildland fire, Boy Scouts/Eagle Scout, construction, or athletics.
Love being outside in all weather.
Are coachable, humble, and serious about safety.
Take pride in working hard and doing things the right way.
Want a trade you can master, not just a short-term job.

What We Require

Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
Able to lift 75+ lbs, drag heavy brush, bend, kneel, and work on your feet all day.
Comfortable with the idea of working at height after training.
Can pass a background check and drug screen.
Show up on time, every time.

Do NOT Apply If

You are careless about safety.
You hate physical work or being outdoors.
You can’t handle feedback or don’t like being coached.
You’re just looking for a quick paycheck, not a career.

If you’re serious about learning tree work, love the outdoors, and want to turn climbing into a real trade, apply today and start your apprenticeship with All Natural Tree Experts.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: $18.00 - $26.00 per hour

Expected hours: No less than 40.0 per week

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Health insurance

Application Question(s):

On a scale of 1–10, how EXCITED are you to climb trees up to 80 feet as a main part of your job (after training)?
Are you willing and physically able to train to work at height in a harness, in trees, after proper instruction?” (Yes/No)
Can you repeatedly lift and drag 75+ lbs and work outdoors in heat, cold, rain, and snow?” (Yes/No)
Please describe your related experience to the role. (Rock climbing, Forestry, wildland fire, or conservation work, Boy Scouts or similar outdoor program
