Do you require ISA certification to apply?

No — experience is what matters most. ISA certification is a plus, and we actively support crew who want to pursue it. If you have solid climbing and rigging experience and are working toward certification, we want to talk.

Is this full-time year-round work?

Yes. Upstate SC has active storm seasons, steady residential demand, and commercial contracts that run year-round. Work is not seasonal — it is consistent field work throughout the year.

What equipment will I operate?

Depending on role: bucket trucks, cranes (run by a coordinated crane operator), chippers, stump grinders, mini skid steer, and articulating loader. Full training on our specific equipment is part of onboarding.

Will Martin Tree and Turf Care help me pursue ISA certification?

Yes. The company is led by an ISA Certified Arborist and actively supports crew members who want to pursue certification. If you are working toward ISA credentials, we will work around study commitments and support you through the process.

What does a typical week look like?

Field work across Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Pickens counties: residential removals, trimming jobs, storm response calls, crane-assisted takedowns, and stump grinding. Days start early, typically 7 AM. Jobs run through the day and end when the site is clean. Some weeks include emergency response — you are expected to be available for urgent calls.

Why Work Here Instead of a Larger Company?

You Work Alongside the Owner

This is not a foreman-managed crew you get dispatched to. You see how decisions get made, you learn the right way to read a tree, and you are not a number on a schedule board.

Varied Work

Residential removals, commercial trimming, crane-assisted takedowns, storm emergency response, stump grinding, and land clearing. If you want to build skill across the full range of tree work, this is it.

Year-Round, Not Seasonal

Upstate SC has active storm seasons and steady year-round demand. The work does not dry up in winter. Consistent field work, consistent pay.

ISA Certification Support

If you want to pursue ISA certification, we will support the process and work around study schedules — our arborist has direct experience with the exam preparation.

Small Crew — Your Work Matters

We run a small, accountable crew. You are not anonymous here. The quality of your work affects the company's reputation directly — and that is exactly how it should be.

What We Look For

Martin Tree and Turf Care is led by an ISA Certified Arborist and TCI Certified Tree Technician — we hold our crew to professional safety and quality standards. We are looking for people who take tree work seriously: experienced climbers with aerial rigging skills, ground crew who understand tension and compression in a loaded tree, and people who show up when they say they will.

✓Climbers with ISA certification or experience working toward it

✓Ground crew with rigging experience and safe chainsaw operation

✓Reliable — we run a small crew and every person has to show up

✓Clean driving record for commercial vehicle operation

We are based at 155A Lister Rd, Greer, SC 29651. Field work runs across Greenville, Spartanburg, Anderson, and Pickens counties.
