SAFETY training

SAFETY training

Continual training. Uncompromised safety.

Everything we do is centered around keeping you safe. It’s that culture of safety that our employees are most proud of. We pledge that if we cannot do a job safely—we won’t do it at all.

career development

The more you push, the further you’ll go.

Start now and move up

No experience, no problem, we’ll train you on the job. Annual wage adjustments, not here. Each time you learn a new skill set or earn a license or certificate your compensation will change.

Pick your certification

Work in the bucket, operate off-road equipment, climb trees, work on the ground. There are endless opportunities to become certified and move up.

Get your CDL on us

Not only do we pay for your CDL training, you can use our equipment while you learn. You’ll always have your CDL—and you’ll never be unemployable again.

Earn bonuses

Many companies don’t do this, but we offer incentives for productivity and safety. The more you do, the safer you are, the more you earn.  Because good work should be rewarded.

"This is definitely a career choice. I moved up from arborist trainee to arborist to running my own bucket truck and climbing crews to moving into this position as safety trainer. It’s a great career. It’s a great field. And the industry is always growing."
– Nick Palladino, Safety Trainer
"I love storms. It’s definitely nerve racking when you first become a foreman, but once you know what you’re doing, it’s the most thrilling thing you could do. After accomplishing a storm call you think: Wow I did that."
– Ashley Hooper, Arborist
"It’s good work we’re doing. We like helping people. I feel like a hero."
– Jarbin Mendez, Arborist/Climber
"Working in the middle of a storm or late at night, you really feel good about yourself helping people get the power back on. I think that’s probably the most rewarding aspect at Lucas Tree."
– Simon Reid, Safety Trainer
"If you’re willing to put the time in, they’re willing to put their time in with you. They will help you every step of the way."
– Earnest Goodwyn, Arborist/Equipment Operator
"If you want to become an arborist, a professional in the tree industry, Lucas is tree college. And we get paid for it, so it’s even better."
– Carlos Hernandez, Training Arborist
