Build a Career with a Company That Values You

Great tree care starts with great people. At Ostvig, we've spent nearly a century building a company where skilled crew members choose to build long-term careers. We're looking for people who take pride in their work and want to grow alongside a team that has their back, both on the job and off. If you're interested in outdoor work, learning a skilled trade, and being part of something with deep roots in the Twin Cities community, we'd love to hear from you.

Why Join Ostvig Tree Care?

We're not a company where you're just a name on a payroll. We're a team where you're expected to grow, respected for your expertise, and included in the culture we've built together.

  • We Build Our Company Around Our People First

    Our crew members are our greatest asset. We invest in competitive wages, safety training, ongoing skill development, and a workplace culture where you actually want to show up. Our crew members average seven years with Ostvig (well above industry turnover rates) because people stay when they're valued.

  • Real Career Development in Tree Care

    We offer ISA certification support, climbing training for all crew levels, equipment operator certification, and mentorship from experienced arborists. You're not just doing a job; you're building a trade.

  • We Work Smarter, Not Just Harder

    We own the most mechanized fleet in the Twin Cities, with grapple saws, cranes, bucket trucks, skid steers, and portable lifts that make work safer, more efficient, and less physically demanding.

  • Four Generations of Stability

    Ostvig was founded in 1933 and has been family-owned ever since. We're rooted in this community, and we're here for the long haul. That means steady, year-round work and a company built to last.

  • Safety Isn't Just Policy, It's Part of Who We Are

    Weekly safety meetings, ongoing training, and state-of-the-art equipment help create a workplace where every crew member can work confidently and return home safely.
