About Us
Maguire Tree Care brings over 30 years of passionate dedication to professional arboriculture to our clients. Known for our exceptional quality and outstanding customer service throughout the Bay Area, we're excited to bring our proven expertise to Monterey and the surrounding area. We combine the best practices of modern arboriculture with old-fashioned values of honesty, integrity, and craftsmanship. Our ISA Certified Arborists and skilled teams have built our reputation on doing the job right the first time. As we expand, we're looking for like-minded professionals who share our commitment to excellence and our love for enhancing the health, beauty, and longevity of our clients' trees.
The Opportunity
This is not your typical sales arborist position. You will be instrumental in establishing our newest location, growing it from a 3-person crew to a thriving operation. You'll enjoy the autonomy of an entrepreneur with the support and resources of our successful, family-oriented company.

Primary Responsibilities
  • Lead both sales efforts and daily operations for the Monterey location
  • Conduct professional tree assessments and develop proposals that address client needs
  • Manage all aspects of crew operations including hiring, training, and safety
  • Oversee equipment, inventory, and quality control processes
  • Build and maintain P&L responsibility with focus on sustainable growth
  • Represent Maguire Tree Care in the Monterey community and at industry events
  • Balance customer acquisition with operational efficiency and service delivery
  • Monitor business performance metrics including sales conversion and job profitability
  • Take full ownership of the location's success with support from the broader organization
Required Qualifications
  • ISA Certification as an Arborist (required)
  • 3+ years of experience in tree care sales with demonstrated success
  • Proven track record of business development and relationship building
  • Experience managing tree service crews
  • Thorough knowledge of local tree species, regulations, and arboricultural practices
  • Strong understanding of tree risk assessment
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Proficiency with CRM systems and digital estimation tools
Preferred Qualifications
• Established relationships and connections in the Monterey area
• Additional certifications (TRAQ, CTSP, etc.)
• Experience in startup or new business development
• History of scaling operations and team building
• Background in high-end residential and/or commercial tree care
Personal Attributes
• Self-motivated with an entrepreneurial mindset
• Results-driven with a hunger for success
• Exceptional work ethic and time management skills
• Natural relationship builder
• Problem-solver comfortable with autonomy
• Passionate about arboriculture and tree preservation
• Collaborative team player who can also work independently
• Ability to thrive in a startup environment

What Sets You Apart
• You're not just looking for a job; you're looking to build something
• You understand that business development requires initiative and persistence
• You have strong connections in the local community
• You're equally comfortable climbing trees and attending networking events
• You see challenges as opportunities for growth

Compensation & Benefits
• Competitive base salary
• Performance-based commission structure (uncapped)
• Growth milestone bonuses tied to business performance
• Opportunity for equity/profit sharing as the operation grows
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) matching program
• Paid time off and holidays
• Professional development allowance
• Company vehicle for business use
• Cell phone and technology allowance
• Relocation assistance (if applicable)

The Ideal Candidate
The ideal candidate for this position is someone who has always wanted to run their own
tree service business but prefers the security and support of an established company.
You'll have the entrepreneurial freedom to build this location with our backing, resources,
and proven systems. You know the local market, have existing relationships you can
leverage, and are excited about the challenge of growing something from the ground up.
