Are you a motivated, hard working individual who loves being outdoors?
Do you have common sense, problem solving skills, integrity, and a sense of pride in yourself, the work you perform, and the company you represent?
Are you looking for a position where you can be an integral part of a team?
Do you have actual skills and abilities to contribute to a company; driving vehicles, operating tools and equipment, critical thinking?
Are you looking for long term employment with a family owned business?
If so then perhaps this may be the opportunity for you!
We are a family owned business located in North East, Maryland where we have been serving our community since 1958. Our goal is to hire two highly motivated, and qualified individuals to be a long term part of our tree service team. By design we have kept our company small, we pride ourselves on the quality of work we perform, and the skill and efficiency with which we can operate. This is due entirely to the quality of employees we hire.
As a family owned business we take a personal interest in our employees, their families, and their wellbeing. The phrase, “once you’re here you’re family,” well, that’s how we operate. It’s a side by side work environment, the owner is on each and every job, and in the evening when the equipment is put away it’s not uncommon for the crew to change into swimming suites and hit the pool, go out on the boat skiing or tubing, or to pull a guys truck into the shop and work on whatever may be wrong with it. It’s a different way of looking at things, we work hard, real hard, but our focus is on more than work, it’s on people. We make a point to be more than just a clock in clock out job, we expect our employees to be above and beyond, and as such we do the same for them.
Are you looking for a job where you can make more money than where you are currently at? If so then this is not the job for you. We pay our employees well, quite well in fact, but if the only reason you’re looking for a job is to get more money, then you’re not a good fit.
We are looking to hire individuals who are focused on working hard, who take pride in the work they perform, and who see the value of being part of an actual team. We’ve hired several people in the past who viewed life as a dance, looking to bob and weave wherever they could to try to get themselves ahead; never willing to put in the effort to improve or get better for themselves. Like the foolish people in traffic, who cut in and out here and there; thinking they’re getting ahead, but not making any more progress than had they held their course. To us life is a race, a long distance race that requires one to find their pace and run with endurance.
If you’re interested we’d love to hear from you.
