Tree Climber

About the role

As a Tree Climber in Training on our General Tree Care Team, you’ll play an important role in helping preserve and enhance the health of clients’ landscapes. You’ll work outdoors, visit beautiful properties, and perform climbing and pruning duties using safe and efficient techniques. SavATree was founded 45 years ago with a mission to preserve trees threatened by the gypsy moth epidemic. Since then, we’ve grown into a nationwide leader in tree, shrub, and lawn care services. Unlike companies that focus on removal, our work is rooted in preservation and care. We are a values-driven organization built on teamwork, integrity, respect, and a relentless commitment to making a positive impact. When you join us, you’ll find a collaborative, competitive, and caring environment where your contributions matter. As we like to say: When you work here, you thrive here.
