Arborist Climber / Tree Care Technician

Arborist Climber / Crew Lead (with Sales Opportunity)

Rayzor Edge Tree Care – Waterloo Region, Qualified candidates from Ontario only.

Rayzor Edge Tree Service is a growing, independently owned tree care business.

We’re hiring an experienced arborist climber ASAP as we continue to grow and add a second, pruning-focused crew.

This is a hands-on leadership position— you will be climbing, running jobs, and identifying additional work opportunities where appropriate.

What This Role Is

This is a hybrid position combining

• Climber — performing pruning and removals
• Crew Lead — running the job site and managing the crew
• Sales — identifying and communicating additional work opportunities onsite, as well as the opportunity to progress into more sales.

This is not a desk sales role. This is not just a climber role.

• Why This Role Is Different
• Shared climbing load, less burnout, more longevity
• More efficient jobs and better workflow
• Strong team structure - not one guy carrying everything

You’ll have support from a secondary climber, while still owning the job outcome.

• What You’ll Be Doing
• Climbing and performing pruning (ISA standards) and removals
• Leading the crew and keeping jobs efficient and organized
• Managing job flow, safety, and work planning
• Communicating with clients on site
• Identifying additional work opportunities (when appropriate)
• Ensuring every job meets our cleanup and quality standards
• Our Standard (This Matters Here)

We are a premium service company.

• Cleanup is non-negotiable— every job, every time

You are responsible for making sure that standard is met.

• Winter Setup (Big Advantage)
• Jan-March: shift into land clearing operations
• Stay working year-round while avoiding harsh winter climbing
• What We’re Looking For
• Minimum 2+ years climbing experience
• Strong ability in pruning and/or removals
• Experience leading jobs or crews (or ready to step into it)
• Comfortable speaking with clients and spotting additional work
• Strong focus on quality and cleanup
• G license required (DZ is a strong asset)
• ISA Certification (or working toward it) = asset
• What You Get
• Competitive pay (based on experience)
• Additional earning potential through sales
• Year-round work
• Opportunity to grow within a rapidly expanding company
• A role that transitions long-term into less climbing, more leadership/sales
• Who This Is NOT For
• Climbers who don’t want responsibility
• People uncomfortable talking to clients
• Anyone who cuts corners or leaves a mess
• Arborist Climber / Tree Care Technician (Immediate Start)
• Rayzor Edge Tree Service – Waterloo Region

We’re hiring an experienced arborist climber ASAP as we continue to grow and add a second, pruning-focused crew.

This is for the secondary climber on that new crew, working alongside a lead climber — with a strong focus on tree care, pruning, and preservation, not just removals.

This is not an entry-level job. We need someone who can get in a tree and work productively from day one.

• What You’ll Be Doing
• Climbing and performing precision pruning (ISA standards)
• Supporting technical removals when required (but pruning is the focus)
• Assisting the lead climber with efficient canopy work
• Operating bucket truck, chipper, and saws
• Delivering clean, professional jobs clients notice
• What Makes This Role Different
• Pruning-focused crew - less hack-and-slash, more skilled tree care
• Learn and refine proper arboriculture techniques, not just removals
• Work alongside a dedicated crew leader, not thrown in blind
• Be part of a company actively scaling and investing in growth
• Our Standard (This Matters Here)

We are a premium service company, and we take that seriously.

• We aim for an exceptional customer experience on every job
• We strive for perfection in job satisfaction — not 'good enough'
• Cleanup is non-negotiable— when we leave, the property should look better than when we arrived

If you take pride in your work and care about the finished product, you’ll fit in well here.

• What We’re Looking For
• Minimum 1 year climbing experience (production work)
• Comfortable working in the canopy with ropes, positioning, and saws
• Interest in tree health, pruning, and long-term care
• Shows up on time and pulls their weight
• G license required (DZ is a big plus)
• ISA Certified (or working toward it) = bonus
• Why This Job Is Attractive
• Growing company – real opportunity to move up quickly
• Premium service company – we focus on quality, not racing to the bottom
• Jan-March: shift into land clearing work
• Run excavators, mulchers, forestry equipment
• Stay working while most tree companies slow down
• What You Get
• Competitive pay (based on experience)
• Consistent, year-round work
• Clear path to lead climber or crew leader
• Work with a tight team that takes pride in the finished product
• Who This Is NOT For
• No experience climbers
• Guys who only want to do removals
• Anyone who cuts corners or leaves a mess
