Hybrid Climber / Sales Arborist
About The Position
Joshua Tree Experts, the Raleigh/Durham area's premier outdoor home service company, is actively hiring a Hybrid Climber / Sales Arborist. This role is the perfect transition for an experienced climber who wants the best of both worlds: keeping your hands on the saw while learning how to quote jobs, consult with clients, and drive revenue. This is a structured hybrid role with three days a week spent in the canopy, running advanced rigging and leading the production crew, and two days a week spent walking properties, diagnosing tree health, and closing deals. We built this role for flexibility, allowing employees to stay in this hybrid mode permanently or transition into a full-time Arborist Account Manager role.
