As a Utility Vegetation Management Specialist for Growth Solutions (a subsidiary of Rainbow Companies), your primary responsibility will be to provide tree growth regulator (TGR) treatments on trees located near powerlines.

We teach the skills necessary to become a proficient utility vegetation management specialist, which will include a thorough introduction to the world of arboriculture and utility vegetation management. Through an internal advancement program, we seek to keep successful team members with us as long as possible, but the skills learned through this role are a great exposure to these intersecting industries.

We pay for training, and promote from within to advanced technician and supervisor roles. This is a full-time up to 50% regional travel position. Weeks are typically 50 hours, with overtime paid at time and a half. The travel schedule is up to four weeks on the road with one week off, and shorter trips when work availability is closer to your home. All travel expenses are paid, including providing per diem and a company vehicle.
