    • Perform advanced PHC treatments and applications with precision and care
    • Manage complex or high-priority client accounts, providing customized solutions
    • Ensure all treatments comply with company protocols and industry regulations
  • Mentor and Train Junior Technicians:
    • Provide on-the-job training and technical guidance to newer team members
    • Share best practices in the field and support continuous learning
  • Ensure Safety and Compliance:
    • Model safe practices in all treatments and equipment usage
    • Maintain regulatory compliance and uphold environmental stewardship standards
  • Deliver Exceptional Client Service:
    • Build strong relationships with clients, advising them on plant health care needs
    • Explain treatment plans clearly and answer client questions with professionalism
    • Identify opportunities to recommend additional services as appropriate
  • Collaborate for Operational Success:
    • Coordinate with sales, operations, and general tree work teams for seamless service
    • Provide feedback to improve workflows and enhance customer satisfaction

 

Why Join Us?

We believe careers should grow just like the landscapes we care for. Join a company that values safety, sustainability, and your professional development.

  • Full-time, year-round role
  • Competitive pay + performance incentives
  • Health insurance and 401(k) with company match
  • Paid holidays and PTO
  • Ongoing training and continuing education support
  • Career growth pathways into advanced roles
  • A supportive, values-driven team environment

 

What You Bring:

  • Proven experience in tree and shrub care or plant healthcare services
  • A Commercial Pesticide Applicator License (or ability to obtain)
  • Strong understanding of IPM (Integrated Pest Management) principles
  • Customer-focused mindset with excellent communication skills
  • Commitment to safety, quality, and environmental responsibility
  • Team player who enjoys mentoring and collaborating with others
  • ISA Certified Arborist credential is a plus (but not required)
