The posting

A Career Where Climbing Becomes Your Craft

If you love being outside, pushing your body, and learning technical skills, this role is built for you.

At All Natural Tree Experts, Apprentice Tree Climbers learn professional tree work from the ground up. You’ll start on the ground crew, master ropes and rigging, then earn your way into the canopy as a safe, skilled climber.

No prior tree experience required. Rock climbers, forestry students, forestry service employees, state parks employees, former Scouts, athletes, and anyone who loves hard, physical work outdoors tend to crush it here.

What Makes This Role Different

  • Uncapped Earning: $18-$21 plus $10,000 Plus yearly bonus potential.
  • Real career path: Ground → Apprentice Climber → Climber → Crew Leader→ Management/Trainer.
  • Year-round work: We don’t “shut down for the season.”
  • Paid training & gear: We invest in your climbing skills and equipment as you progress.
  • Strong team culture: Safety-first, no divas, no slackers.
  • Benefits: Competitive hourly pay plus bonuses for performance, overtime opportunities, paid time off, paid holidays, health and dental insurance.

What You’ll Actually Do

Start on the Ground

  • Drag brush, rake, chip limbs, and keep the job site clean.
  • Load / unload trucks, stage gear, and support climbers.
  • Learn saw safety, PPE, and job site communication.

Learn the Craft

  • Practice knots, rope handling, and basic rigging.
  • Learn how to spot hazards and read trees.
  • Shadow experienced climbers and crew leaders every day.

Grow Into the Canopy

  • Progress into basic climbing under close supervision.
  • Help with pruning, removals, and technical rigging as your skills grow.
  • Take on more responsibility and pay as you prove yourself.

Who Thrives Here

You should apply if you:

  • Have background in rock climbing, forestry, wildland fire, Boy Scouts/Eagle Scout, military, construction, or athletics.
  • Love being outside in all weather.
  • Are coachable, humble, and serious about safety.
  • Take pride in working hard and doing things the right way.
  • Want a trade you can master, not just a short-term job.
  • Inspire to be GREAT!

What We Require

  • Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
  • Able to lift 75+ lbs, drag heavy brush, bend, kneel, and work on your feet all day.
  • Comfortable with the idea of working at heights that exceed 60' after training.
  • Can pass a background check and drug screen.
  • Show up on time, every time.

Do NOT Apply If

  • You are careless about safety.
  • You hate physical work or being outdoors.
  • You can’t handle feedback or don’t like being coached.
  • You’re just looking for a quick paycheck, not a career.

If you’re serious about learning tree work, love the outdoors, and want to turn climbing into a real trade, apply today and start your apprenticeship with All Natural Tree Experts.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
