    Riggs Tree Service is looking for an EXPERIENCED Utility Bucket Trimmer who knows utility vegetation management and can step into the bucket ready to work.
     
    This is not an entry-level tree trimming position.
     
    We are looking for an experienced trimmer with hands-on knowledge of utility right-of-way tree and brush clearing—someone who understands how to safely and efficiently trim around utility infrastructure, operate an aerial lift, run a saw, recognize hazards, and work as part of a productive ROW crew.
     
    If you have built your career trimming trees and clearing vegetation around power lines, we want to talk to you.
     
    THE CANDIDATE WE'RE LOOKING FOR
    Our ideal candidate has real-world experience with:
    • Utility vegetation management (UVM)
    • Right-of-way (ROW) tree and brush clearing
    • Bucket truck / aerial lift operation
    • Tree trimming, pruning, and removals
    • Working around energized electrical facilities
    • Chainsaws, pole saws, hand saws, and tree trimming equipment
    • Identifying hazardous trees, limbs, and vegetation
    • Proper pruning and cutting techniques
    • Rigging and tree removal operations
    • Utility/customer specifications and work plans
    • Safe, productive crew operations
    Experience working specifically for a utility line-clearance or vegetation management contractor is highly desirable.

    As an experienced Bucket Trimmer with Riggs Tree Service, you will:
    • Perform tree trimming, pruning, clearing, and removals from an aerial lift
    • Clear trees, limbs, and brush from utility rights-of-way
    • Work safely around energized electrical conductors and utility infrastructure
    • Operate bucket trucks, chainsaws, pole saws, and related vegetation management equipment
    • Identify hazardous trees, limbs, and vegetation conditions that could impact utility facilities
    • Follow utility specifications, work plans, and customer requirements
    • Assist with rigging and complex tree removals
    • Support storm restoration and emergency response operations when needed
    • Complete daily vehicle, equipment, and aerial lift inspections
    • Work with ground crews and leadership to keep jobs safe, efficient, and productive
     
    WHAT WILL MAKE YOU STAND OUT
    We're searching for someone who doesn't need to be taught what utility ROW work looks like.
    You'll stand out if you have:
    • Proven utility vegetation management experience
    • Strong bucket/aerial lift skills
    • Extensive tree and brush clearing experience
    • Experience trimming around energized utility lines
    • Strong chainsaw and pole saw skills
    • Knowledge of electrical hazards and minimum approach distances

    • First Aid/CPR certification
    • Experience with storm restoration
    • A strong safety record
    • A reputation for showing up, working hard, and taking care of your crew and equipment
