Be Your Own Boss. Work Outside. No Experience Necessary.

You read that right. At Lucas, you don’t need any experience to join us. We’ll train you and give you all the tools you need to grow for a safe and lucrative career in the trade of arboriculture.

Right now, we’re looking for people who are more about working outside than in and aren’t afraid of working hard, learning how to do it better, and taking on more responsibility— the type of people who like the idea of being on the fast track to a pay raise and promotion.

We Hire for Attitude. Train for Altitude.

The Lucas crew is made up of all types of people. We have rock climbers and first responders, veterans and gearheads. Some of us just like being outdoors all the time. We like to say we hire for attitude and train for altitude. So, whatever your background, if you’re willing to work hard, you’ll find a spot to grow at Lucas.

Work. Train.
Advance. Repeat.

Lucas is a great place to start—and a great place to grow. We invest in our employees. That means we pay for your training, whether it’s earning your commercial driver’s license (CDL) or one of the many professional certificates we provide. We reward hard work with incentive-based wages and opportunities for advancement.
