Arborist Climber / Crew Lead (with Sales Opportunity)
Rayzor Edge Tree Care – Waterloo Region, Qualified candidates from Ontario only.
Rayzor Edge Tree Service is a growing, independently owned tree care business.
We’re hiring an experienced arborist climber ASAP as we continue to grow and add a second, pruning-focused crew.
This is a hands-on leadership position— you will be climbing, running jobs, and identifying additional work opportunities where appropriate.
What This Role IsThis is a hybrid position combining:
- Climber — performing pruning and removals
- Crew Lead — running the job site and managing the crew
- Sales — identifying and communicating additional work opportunities onsite, as well as the opportunity to progress into more sales.
This is not a desk sales role. This is not just a climber role.
Why This Role Is Different- Shared climbing load, less burnout, more longevity
- More efficient jobs and better workflow
- Strong team structure - not one guy carrying everything
You’ll have support from a secondary climber, while still owning the job outcome.
What You’ll Be Doing- Climbing and performing pruning (ISA standards) and removals
- Leading the crew and keeping jobs efficient and organized
- Managing job flow, safety, and work planning
- Communicating with clients on site
- Identifying additional work opportunities (when appropriate)
- Ensuring every job meets our cleanup and quality standards
We are a premium service company.
- Cleanup is non-negotiable— every job, every time
You are responsible for making sure that standard is met.
Winter Setup (Big Advantage)- Jan-March: shift into land clearing operations
- Stay working year-round while avoiding harsh winter climbing
- Minimum 2+ years climbing experience
- Strong ability in pruning and/or removals
- Experience leading jobs or crews (or ready to step into it)
- Comfortable speaking with clients and spotting additional work
- Strong focus on quality and cleanup
- G license required (DZ is a strong asset)
- ISA Certification (or working toward it) = asset
- Competitive pay (based on experience)
- Additional earning potential through sales
- Year-round work
- Opportunity to grow within a rapidly expanding company
- A role that transitions long-term into less climbing, more leadership/sales
- Climbers who don’t want responsibility
- People uncomfortable talking to clients
- Anyone who cuts corners or leaves a mess

We’re hiring an experienced arborist climber ASAP as we continue to grow and add a second, pruning-focused crew.
This is for the secondary climber on that new crew, working alongside a lead climber — with a strong focus on tree care, pruning, and preservation, not just removals.

What You’ll Be Doing- Climbing and performing precision pruning (ISA standards)
- Supporting technical removals when required (but pruning is the focus)
- Assisting the lead climber with efficient canopy work
- Operating bucket truck, chipper, and saws
- Delivering clean, professional jobs clients notice
- Pruning-focused crew - less hack-and-slash, more skilled tree care
- Learn and refine proper arboriculture techniques, not just removals
- Work alongside a dedicated crew leader, not thrown in blind
- Be part of a company actively scaling and investing in growth
We are a premium service company, and we take that seriously.
- We aim for an exceptional customer experience on every job
- We strive for perfection in job satisfaction — not 'good enough'
- Cleanup is non-negotiable— when we leave, the property should look…
