About the role

ABOUT US: Timberscapes Inc. is all about trees, teamwork, and having a good time while we work. We climb, cut, prune, and plant—but we also crack jokes, fire up the grill after a long day, and make sure everyone’s enjoying themselves. If you loved climbing trees as a kid or digging in the dirt, you’ll probably fit right in.

We don’t believe in soul-sucking jobs. If work isn’t fun, what’s the point? So, we do cool stuff, take pride in what we do, and make sure every day feels like more than just a paycheque. We handle everything from small pruning jobs to massive tree removals, and we’re always looking for solid people to join the crew. Sound good?

THE VALUES you’ll need to be in line with: We have 5 that build our foundation!

SAFETY: The dangers of tree work are plenty; however, through thoughtful planning and mitigation these dangers can be minimized. It is our responsibility to prevent injury to ourselves, our customers, and those we work alongside at all times. We ensure all our employees are trained to handle all the equipment they use and work in a safe manner.

QUALITY: We strive to always complete things to the best quality standard, within the parameters of the project. If we are not able to produce this quality it is our duty to seek guidance in order to improve. Our clients have trusted us with their projects and they shall receive our best. When we leave a job site, we look back at our work with pride. Clients always comment on our quality of work.

LEAN: At Timberscapes we adhere to the saying “smarter not harder”. Team members shall at all times be striving to produce the most efficient work possible through dynamic organizational practices and stellar time management skills.

GRIT: This is a super important value for us because it is the driver of achievement and success. Grit is independent of, and beyond, what talent and intelligence contribute to our day to day at Timberscapes. Being naturally smart and talented are great things, but to truly do well and thrive, we need the ability to push through and persevere through many aspects of our daily tasks. Without grit, our talents may be nothing more than unmet potential.

LEARN: Much like the trees we care for, from the moment we are put here on earth we begin to grow and to evolve. A hunger to seek knowledge is something that should be engrained in us all, and this will fuel our future. The costs of education can be high; however, the cost of being uneducated is far greater. Our continuous growth ensures all labour is profitable even if only through the lessons we’ve learned.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR THIS ROLE:

EXPERIENCE:

  • 3 + years in Arborist role and can handle the big trees with ease
  • 1 year leadership position on Arborist crew
  • DZ License or higher considered a strong asset

WHO YOU ARE:

  • You can run a crew on a scorching day and still crack jokes.
  • Your past teams respected you, and clients actually liked talking to you.
  • You keep the vibe up when things are smooth and stay cool when the tide turns
  • You’re a leader, but approachable—people feel comfortable asking you questions.
  • You’re not afraid of tech (phones, apps, and computers don’t scare you).
  • You take pride in your work and how you present yourself.

THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MATTER

Attention to Detail – If a messy truck or a tool left behind bugs you, good. That means you’ve got the eyes for this job.

Problem Solver – When stuff goes sideways, do you panic or figure it out? We need people who can think on their feet.

Organized & On Point – You keep checklists in check, trucks clean, and jobs running on schedule.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING

  • Running an Arborist crew and keeping things on point.
  • Making sure daily and weekly checklists actually get done.
  • Keeping the team moving and cutting down wasted time.
  • Checking gear & supplies in the morning—if something’s missing, you handle it.
  • Managing the job site from the ground or up in the tree.
  • Talking to clients so they feel confident and taken care of.
  • Spotting extra work that needs doing and making sure it gets documented.
  • Training up new crew members.
  • Always improving your own skills.

WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU:

  • $500 sign-on bonus
  • A leadership role in a growing company.
  • Freedom to give feedback—we actually listen.
  • Flexible work environment (Got something personal? We’ll work it out).
  • Gear & equipment allowance.
  • Competitive pay and quarterly bonuses
  • Company uniforms, you’ll be geared up with the best high vis clothing.
  • An energetic work environment. No one likes working with someone who’s in a bad mood. Right? We take pride in our work while making sure everyone has freedom to joke around. If you’re not happy we will always want to know about it.

HOW TO GET ON THE TEAM:

At Timberscapes, we don’t just offer work—we offer a crew that has your back, a company that values your skills, and a job where your effort never goes unnoticed. If you're looking for a change of scenery, a new challenge, or simply a place where your hard work is appreciated and rewarded, this is the place for you.
