Arborist Team Leader
WA Treeworks is a well-established arboricultural and tree services company based in Perth, specialising in large and technical tree work for residential and commercial clients. We’ve built a strong reputation across the metro area for doing the job properly — backed by a genuine team culture and a real focus on developing our people’s skills, whatever level they’re starting from.
We’re currently looking to bring on arborists, climbers and ground crew alike. As demand for our services keeps growing. If you know your trade, take pride in your work, and want to work somewhere that actually backs you, we want to hear from you.
What Sets Us Apart
We invest in the right machinery, cranes, loaders, and gear that gets the job done safely and efficiently, without unnecessary strain on the crew. It means our team can take on bigger, more technical work than most, and do it properly. We back that up with real training and a genuine path for people to grow their skills, not just their workload.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Climbing, pruning, and removal work carried out to a high standard
- Rigging, rope handling, and ground support as part of the crew
- Running machinery (loader, excavator, chipper, etc.) where you’re licensed or experienced to
- Driving to and from job sites and handling loading/unloading, if you hold the right licence
- Keeping the worksite clean, organised, and safe
- Backing up the lead climber and pulling your weight as part of the team
What We’re After
- Genuine hands-on experience as an arborist — climbing, ground work, or both
- A truck licence (MR/HR or above) and machinery experience is a strong plus
- Someone who runs an efficient, tidy worksite and doesn’t need chasing
- A team player who keeps the job moving
- Someone looking for a proper crew, not just another job
Where It Can Go
This isn’t a dead-end role. There’s real scope to build your machinery ticket, take on more responsibility on bigger jobs, and move into a senior or leadership position as we grow.
Pay
Competitive, based on experience — with room to earn above industry standard if you perform.
How to Apply
We’re building a crew that takes pride in the work and backs each other. If that sounds like you, get in touch.
