climber moving to vancouver bc

hi my name is tiger, i'm a 25 y/o arborist from byron bay australia. i am looking for a full time climbing position in the vancouver area.

i have 7 years of industry experience with several reputable companies. i have recently been working in the uk and seek employment in vancouver as i am moving there with my girlfriend.

i am fully capable of performing any climbing tasks, big pruning, difficult and confined rigging, crane removals, tree-bracing installation, and i have excellent references. I have also been running my own crew for 3 years now and am very experienced in organising jobs, liasing with clients and training apprentices. i also have competition experience with good results (not that it really relates to the workplace) and lots of international friends who would vouch for my abilities.

Preferably i am looking for a job which focuses on tree-care rather than tree-destruction, but that does not make me a narrow-minded tree-hugger, i just like the satisfaction of coming out of a large tree and knowing ive done a good job and the best for the tree.

keen for some replies,

cheers

hi natalie,

sorry about the time its taken to get back to you, i have limited internet connection so rarely use it.

i am arriving in van on the 8th of dec and wont be able to start work until the 15th or so. i understand its the holiday season and you will be needing help straight away, but if i can be of assistance then i'll gladly call and arrange to come by and see whats up.

Hi Tiger,

Thanks for replying. We do have a guy now, but definitely keep in touch. I don't think you'll have any difficulty finding work around here - always a need for good climbers.

I can vouch that Tiger is known as a good climber in Australia!

Tiger, maybe find out who Reg Coates is working with, he is in BC.

aw shucks, thanks trev, ya making me blush! i've heard reg is on the island, i'm pretty much settled in vancouver tho cos my gf is here. got a job with bartlett that im not 100% on at the moment. did some sweet 230'ers yesterday at capilano suspension bridge tho. would like to meet reg and do some work with him tho, been a fan of his vids for a while.

how are you anyway mate?
 
If you haven't already, swing by Burley Boys .

They take their trees seriously, themselves a little less so.

They are also familiar with Canada's foreign worker programs so it might be a good fit.

Hi, Tiger

We are currently looking for Climbers, Groundsmen, PHC Specialists and a Lead Foreman. Our company is located in north central Connecticut. If you know of anyone looking for work in our area please pass this along.

We are a growing company looking for some good people that want to make a difference.

Thanks

Mark
 
yeah ive heard about those guys. do they do topping a view work? i'm not interested in that sort of work. to be honest im best at pruning broad leaf trees, and its what id rather do, but im still more than capable with fir takedowns.
 
good to hear! pretty exciting itcc this year in syd eh? good to see joe giving scotty a run for his money too. canadians ay? i'm actually watching canucks vs. anaheim at the mo. good people, crazy about hockey tho. girls arent scared of beers either. haha
 
I agree with Northwind. Burley Boys are a great company with a great crew of guys. They do alot of view and retopping work and big removals but don't kid yourself, if you aren't doing that kind of work with Bartlett you soon will be. Have had a few buds work for them on the north shore sometimes doing it for months straight. Very little pruning of broadleaf trees in BC as well but plenty of Firs and Cedars!
