Liaise with customers, businesses, and government contacts on scope, access, and scheduling.
Navigate urban and wildland environments in all weather conditions.
Minimum Requirements:
3+ years in arboriculture, horticulture, or vegetation management or a degree (2-year or 4-year) in a related field.

Strong communication skills and professionalism with customer interactions.
Able to work independently in varied terrain and environmental conditions.
Reliable transportation to assigned reporting location.
Qualifications:
