Tree Planting Crew Leader Fall 2026

Are you ready to step into a leadership role that combines the great outdoors, meaningful work, and the chance to make a real impact? We’re looking for Crew Leaders to guide and support our tree planting teams this summer.

Why This Role Rocks:

  • Adventure Every Day – No two days are the same. You’ll be working in nature, solving problems, and leading your crew through exciting challenges.
  • Earn What You’re Worth – Up to $260/day, with pay based on your experience and leadership skills and extra earning potential.
  • Lead with Purpose – You’ll have the autonomy to make decisions, motivate your team, and drive results.
  • Make a Difference – Leave a growing legacy behind while building your leadership toolkit.

What You’ll Do:

  • Be the go-to leader for your planting crew
  • Keep operations running smoothly and safely
  • Support planters with logistics, morale, and problem-solving
  • Take pride in the success of your team and the trees you help plant

As a Crew Leader, you’ll play a key role in the success of our tree planting operations. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading a crew of 10–14 tree planters with energy, focus, and accountability
  • Promoting and enforcing safety standards to ensure a safe work environment at all times
  • Maintaining high planting quality through regular coaching and follow-up with planters
  • Managing daily job site operations, including logistics, troubleshooting, and crew coordination
  • Driving productivity by motivating your team to meet or exceed daily production targets

You’ll be a great fit if you have:

  • A clean driver’s abstract – you’ll be trusted to operate crew vehicles safely
  • The ability to obtain a class 4 license (optional)
  • Tree planting experience – a strong asset, but not a deal-breaker
  • The ability to keep up in a fast-paced, physically demanding environment
  • A willingness to work hard outdoors in all conditions—rain or shine
  • A self-starting attitude with the drive to motivate and lead your team
  • Strong leadership skills – you know how to guide, support, and inspire others
