The Opportunity

Are you an experienced faller who loves leading a crew, tackling challenging removals, and doing it all with safety at the core? Our Tree Care division is growing, and we're looking for a Tree Care Foreman (Abatement) to help us continue raising the bar.

If you're a certified faller (or hold a Faller Endorsement), confident on the tools, and excited to mentor up-and-coming arborists, this might be your next great career move.

What You'll Do

As our Abatement Foreman, you'll lead your crew through safe, efficient, and professional tree removal work every day. You'll be the go-to on site—planning jobs, directing work, and ensuring safety stays front and center.

You'll also get hands-on with:

  • Tree removal and abatement
  • Climbing (spurred and spur-less)
  • Rigging and rope work
  • Operating and maintaining saws, chippers, and lift trucks
  • Aerial lift operation
  • Equipment maintenance and pre-use inspections
  • Emergency procedures and boom operation
  • General cleanup and site organization

You'll also handle:

  • Crew time cards
  • Leading daily safety talks
  • Completing safety forms on the iPad
  • Communicating job plans clearly to your crew
  • Representing Horizon professionally on every site

What You Bring

Certifications & Requirements

  • Certified Faller or Faller Endorsement (required)
  • Valid Class 5 Driver's Licence (Air Brake endorsement an asset)
  • Arboriculture or horticulture education is a bonus
  • ISA Arborist Cert, TRAQ, Utility Certification, or TCP are assets

Experience

  • Experience in a physical, safety-focused outdoor environment
  • At least 1 year of supervisory or crew leadership experience
  • Strong climbing skills (spurred and spur-less)
  • Confident with aerial lifts, chipper operation, and rigging
  • Equipment maintenance experience
  • Comfortable driving lift trucks

Skills & Strengths

  • Strong communication and leadership abilities
  • Safety-minded and mechanically inclined
  • Good customer service and professional presence
  • Tech comfortable (iPad forms, Outlook, etc.)
  • Great problem-solving skills and a team-first approach

Physical Requirements

This is a hands-on role. You'll need to be able to:

  • Lift 50+ lbs
  • Bend, crouch, twist, climb, and work at heights
  • Work on your feet for long periods
  • Work outdoors in all weather conditions

What We Offer

  • $45–$50/hour starting wage
  • Vacation pay on every cheque
  • Extended Health Benefits (Health, Dental, Vision) after 90 days
  • RRSP matching after 365 days
  • Annual company bonus (after 1 year of service prior to Oct 31)
  • A supportive team, strong safety culture, and room to grow

Our Core Values

At Horizon, we live our values every day:

Accountable
• United
• Determined
• Genuine

We show up for each other, own our work, and do everything with integrity.

Your Future at Horizon

We believe in growing FROM THE GROUND UP. This role is part of a well-defined career journey, with opportunities to advance as your skills and leadership grow.
