?? Here at Tree King we understand that our business is only as good as the people involved. As a part of Tree King you are more than just a number, a pair of hands, or a narrow skill set. We hire the whole person and ensure that you have everything you need to do amazing things. We endeavour to continue pushing the boundaries of this industry and redefining arboricultural careers here in New Zealand. We strongly believe that doing great work should be the goal and you should not have to be a manager, consultant or small business owner to be considered to have "made it" Our vision for the future is to be the premier arboricultural service provider. We want to make arboriculture a career worth striving for, raising standards of professionalism and the degree of coordination within the industry. We envision a gradual movement away from the "arborist with a couple of helpers" and the "lone contract climber" models. They will be replaced with larger, better resourced firms capable of providing proper training and career progression as well as driving innovation in the areas that it is most needed, namely employee experience and professionalisation. What we believe in:People are the most important part of arboriculture ??The occupation of "arborist" should be viable as a life-long career, not a stepping stone on your path to operation management or small business ownership ??Certain things need to change for this to become a realityTree King is not just more of the same. Our aim is to become the arboricultural employer of choice. As such we choose our staff carefully and a good fit with our culture is of paramount importance. We're planning long term so are always keen to meet with any like-minded arb professionals who think they could work well with us in the future even if you're not ready to make the move right now. Who we're looking for:What we are looking for is great people with enthusiasm and ambition to take their arboriculture careers to the next level. This is a skilled role for a Senior Arborists/Advanced Climber with Level 4 Certificate in Arboriculture or at least 5 years of Arboriculture industry experience.
