JOB DESCRIPTION
We are looking for a reliable, conscientious and hard-working ground worker for the coming season (March, 2021). This ground worker will support the work of a climbing arborist through a variety of tasks, including:
- Rigging: manning rigging and tag lines to ensure controlled descent of branches.
- Climber Assistance: sending tools, water and other items up to the climber.
- Cleanup: cutting up branches and logs and either feeding them through a chipper or loading them into a truck. Also, loading and unloading equipment.
These tasks are physically demanding. The applicant must be in good physical health and able to lift heavy objects repeatedly over the course of an 8-12 hour shift.
