Why Bump Your Stump?

Tree work isn’t easy — and that’s part of what makes it rewarding. Our team works outdoors, tackles challenging projects, operates professional equipment, solves problems, and gets to see the results of a hard day’s work.
We’re looking for people who want to be part of a company where safety, teamwork, reliability, and quality matter.

Everyone goes home at the end of the day. Tree work requires awareness, communication, proper equipment, and teamwork. Our crews are expected to follow company safety procedures, use required PPE, perform equipment inspections, and look out for one another on every job.

Training & Development

There’s always more to learn in this industry. We value employees who want to improve their skills and encourage hands-on training, continued education, and relevant industry certifications.

Competitive Pay

Compensation is based on the position as well as experience, skills, licenses, certifications, and responsibilities.

Find Your Place on Our Team

Our staffing needs change throughout the year, and we may not have openings for every position at any given time. These are some of the types of people and skills we look for when adding to our team.

Ground Crew / Tree Crew

Our ground crew is an essential part of every tree operation. Work may include processing and chipping brush, assisting with ropes and rigging, operating chainsaws when qualified, running mini skids and other equipment, setting up and cleaning job sites, and supporting aerial operators and climbers.

Tree-service experience is preferred, although experience in landscaping, construction, equipment operation, or another hands-on trade can also be valuable.

Bucket Truck Operators

Experienced bucket operators perform tree removals and pruning using aerial lift equipment.

We look for operators with professional tree-care experience, strong chainsaw skills, knowledge of rigging and safe work practices, and the ability to communicate and work effectively with the ground crew. A CDL and industry certifications are a plus.

Tree Climbers

Professional climbers perform tree removals, pruning, rigging, and other aerial tree work where climbing is required.

We look for experienced professionals who understand climbing systems, chainsaw operation, ropes and rigging, and safe aerial work practices.

CDL Drivers / Tree Crew

Our CDL drivers aren’t just drivers — they’re part of the tree crew. Work may include operating company trucks, transporting equipment, completing required vehicle inspections, securing loads, towing equipment, and participating in tree operations throughout the workday.

A valid Class A or Class B CDL, safe driving record, and tree-service or equipment experience are valuable qualifications.

Equipment & Stump Grinder Operators

Equipment is a major part of what we do. Operators may work with stump grinders, mini skids, chippers, and other specialized equipment used throughout our operation.

We look for people who are comfortable around machinery, pay attention to their surroundings, take care of equipment, notice when something isn’t operating correctly, and take pride in completing work thoroughly.

Crew Leaders & Experienced Tree Professionals

We also like to connect with experienced tree-care professionals who bring strong field knowledge and leadership skills. That may include experience with tree removal, pruning, rigging, aerial operations, equipment, job-site planning, crew leadership, safety, and customer communication.

CDL, ISA, Massachusetts Certified Arborist, or other relevant credentials are always a plus.

What It Means to Be Part of Our Team

Rooted in Service. Grounded in Excellence.
It’s more than our tagline. It’s how we expect our company to operate. We want people who:
  • Show up and can be counted on.
  • Work safely and look out for the rest of the crew.
  • Take pride in their work and don’t cut corners.
  • Respect our customers and their property.
  • Take care of our equipment and speak up when something isn’t right.
  • Work as a team because tree work depends on everyone doing their part.
  • Keep learning and want to get better at what they do.
Experience and technical skills are important, but so are work ethic, reliability, attitude, and pride in a job well done.

Think You’d Be a Good Fit?

You don’t have to wait for a job posting to introduce yourself. Our staffing needs change, and we’re always interested in hearing from experienced tree-care professionals and hardworking people with skills that could be a good fit for our operation.

Tell us a little about yourself, including your experience, licenses or certifications, and the type of work you’re interested in. If an opportunity becomes available that looks like a good match, we’ll have your information.
