Tree Climber I

Timmy's Tree Service is hiring for the Tree Climber I position in Nampa, ID. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Support assigned pruning, tree-care, brush processing, rigging, or ground operations within training and authorization. • Maintain controlled work and drop zones and communicate clearly around climbers, saws, chippers, ropes, and moving material. • Inspect equipment, organize tools and debris flow, and complete a thorough site cleanup. • Climb trees using approved rope and saddle systems and perform assigned pruning or removal cuts within training and job scope. • Inspect climbing gear, saws, ropes, rigging, and work zones before use and communicate every material movement with the ground crew. • Assist with rigging, brush processing, equipment care, and complete site cleanup as the operation requires. How the work fits together Tree work begins with a site and hazard assessment, equipment check, work-zone plan, and clear communication method. Every cut or material movement must account for coworkers, customers, buildings, utilities, traffic, and the remaining tree. The crew processes debris, accounts for gear, and inspects the entire site before departure. At Timmy's Tree Service, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Climb trees using approved rope and saddle systems and perform assigned pruning or removal cuts within training and job scope.
