There are at least 6, maybe more openings.

This is a great opportunity to be involved with one of the best urban forestry programs in the US.

If you have any questions, fill out the application first, then send me a private message or email. I can give you my insights.

Tom, what's entry level pay at the city?

 

[Tom Dunlap]

From the webpage:

Note: Arborists serve an initial six month probationary period. Step 1 of the Arborist wage scale is a six month step; all other steps are one-year steps. Arborists may start at up to Step 3 ($22.22) based on documented qualifications and experience.

Pay attention to '...may start at up to...'

Benefits are great.

One of the best things about the job is to hear, 'Go home, it's 3:30!'

Have the positions been filled? Can't seem to find the listing on the site. I would love to have a chance to work for minneap!

The job posting closed a couple of days ago. There are 20 applicants for ten positions.

Gotta act quickly!

Dang that's what I get for studying for the cert. Test instead of buzzing.
