Mo’ Bettah Tree Service — Oahu, HI

Mo’ Bettah Tree Service is looking for an experienced, dependable Groundsman to join our tree-service crew.

• Assist climbers and bucket-truck operators from the ground
• Assist with tree rigging and lowering operations
• Safely operate chainsaws and other tree-service equipment
• Properly maintain and care for chainsaws and equipment
• Drag, process, chip, and clean up brush and debris
• Feed and safely work around wood chippers
• Maintain an organized and safe work area throughout the job
• Keep ropes, rigging equipment, tools, and equipment organized
• Anticipate what climbers/operators need and help keep production moving efficiently
• Perform job-site cleanup

What We’re Looking For

We want someone who knows how to work on a tree crew. You should be safety-conscious, productive, organized, and willing to work hard.

A good groundsman doesn’t just wait to be told what to do — they pay attention to the operation, keep the work area organized, and help the climber, operator, and rest of the crew work safely and efficiently.

Experience matters, but attitude, reliability, safety, and willingness to learn matter too.

Apply through Indeed with your tree-service experience, equipment experience, and any experience you have with chainsaws, chippers, rigging, trucks, or trailers.

Pay: $200.00 - $300.00 per day
