Over the last thirty years, we have opened new offices across the country, and we are looking for people who want to grow with us.
The Sales Arborist team are our subject matter experts, providing consulting and expertise to commercial and residential properties in the area. Our tribe thrives on autonomy and opportunity, treating customers as their own and building their own business within SavATree. As one of our Arborists put it, “it’s as close as you can get to working for yourself, without actually doing it.”
In this role, team members have the opportunity to work outside and visit beautiful, luxurious properties. Sales Arborists apply expertise to ensure the health and well-being of each client’s landscape.

To ensure that everyone has the best chance to succeed, we invest heavily in training and continuing education. We make it easy for team members to reach out and get the help needed, even when it’s from the other side of the country. This means actively fostering a collaborative culture where we come together to learn from each other and help each other succeed. We pride ourselves on creating an environment where each team member has the resources and opportunities to advance his or her career and become a go-to subject matter expert. That’s why we often say that when you work here, you thrive here.
