Positions offer the opportunity to work with experienced professionals in the field in a laid back environment. Work with interesting people in the out-of-doors and gain valuable leadership and group management skills. The experience is especially valuable for prospective teachers, business managers, and outdoor professionals. We are dedicated to helping our staff grow.

For those looking to make a career in the outdoors, it is our goal to open numerous sites across the United States. We are always seeking to groom employees for future positions. JOB QUALIFICATIONSJob applicants seeking work as a builder or canopy tour guide must be responsible and highly organized. Working on the canopy tour involves working at great heights and in an environment that can be largely unpredictable. Successful candidates must be committed to taking responsibility for their safety and that of our guests at all times. All candidates must undergo intensive training and pass a written and practical exam to gain full employment. TRAINING & SKILL DEVELOPMENTSome positions may require prior experience working in the out-of-doors or specific certifications and training. Paid training is available for most positions. Ongoing training and skill development is at the core of our business. Applicants should be prepared to participate in an ongoing training and skill development program. Open communication and a willingness to give and receive feedback on performance are critical to the process in all positions of the organization. SEASON AND WORK SCHEDULEMost positions inside the organization are seasonal. While tour operations will be conducted year round, the summer provides the most opportunities for work. Staff will be offered work in the Fall, Winter, and Spring based on qualifications, performance, and seniority. Staff who come to the position with additional skills in construction, marketing, journalism, accounting, and small business management are likely to be provided additional work when business is slow. Tours are offered seven days a week with departures scheduled throughout the day. While tours are scheduled by reservation, schedules often are not complete until a day or several days in advance. As such, staff must be prepared to work irregular hours and make themselves available throughout the week. During Peak Season, employees can expect to work long hours. During the Off Peak Season when work is more sporadic, employees can expect to receive work as it becomes available. INCOME & WAGESEntry level positions generally pay between $9.00 and $12.50 per hour plus tips. It has been our experience that tips generally average $3.00 to $7.00 additional per hour. ArborTrek does not guarantee tips. Administrative and office position pay is set by the position and based on the experience of the applicant. All administrative positions include health and medical benefits after 90 days. All full-time employees will receive access to our basic benefits package which includes friends and family discounts and access to pro-form purchasing from select vendors. Additional benefits may apply based on arrangements with local partners. These benefits are site specific and not guarenteed. Bonuses are sometimes issued. Incentive and bonus programs are offered during the Peak Season. To be eligible, staff must remain available throughout the entirety of the Peak Season. STAFF POLICIESOur business requires that staff are alert and functioning at their best. As a result, ArborTrek participates in random drug testing. ArborTrek reserves the right to terminate any employee without notice for positive findings or a breach of safety procedure. A more thorough employee manual will be provided to each employee upon hire. Employees are expected to adhere to all policies inside the manual. Failure to meet policies and employee guidelines is reason for immediate dismissal. ArborTrek reserves the right to change, suspend, or cancel without notice, all or any part of our policies, procedures, and benefits at any time as needed.
