Worksite Safety & Professionalism

  • Adhere to company protocols and standard operating procedures (SOPs) at all times.

  • Maintain a safe and organized work zone, including proper vehicle parking, traffic signage, and cone placement.

  • Ensure all personal protective equipment (PPE) is worn properly, and encourage team compliance with safety standards.

Customer Interaction & Team Communication

  • Serve as a professional and knowledgeable representative of The Treeist, engaging with clients in a courteous and informative manner.

  • Communicate effectively with relevant team members to ensure a smooth workflow and job completion.

Equipment & Vehicle Maintenance

  • Assist in routine maintenance and upkeep of stump grinding machinery and company vehicles.

  • Properly record maintenance activities and report any mechanical issues.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

  • Familiarity with or willingness to learn stump grinding operations, including safe and effective machine handling.

  • Ability to tow and maneuver a trailer, ensuring proper transport of equipment.

  • Experience operating a stump grinding machine (e.g., Vermeer SC552 or similar) is a bonus, but training is available.

  • Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, ensuring tools and equipment are maintained in top condition.

  • Consistent use of PPE and ability to enforce safety standards among team members.

  • Punctuality and reliability—being on time and ready to work is essential.

If you’re a motivated individual who enjoys working with machinery, values safety and efficiency, and wants to be part of a skilled team, we’d love to hear from you!
