ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY

Professional Tree Care Co. is seeking an experienced collections agent with basic accounting experience to work in our corporate headquarters near the Berkeley Bowl West. The right person for this position will blend assertiveness with compassion and ethical integrity. They will have a great memory for names, figures, and be able to remember each client’s relationship to our staff and company.

ABOUT THE COMPANY

Since 1980, The Professional Tree Care Company has been trusted for tree services throughout Northern California. Based in Berkeley, CA, we service commercial, residential, and public works projects from Mendocino to Monterey, and from San Francisco to Sacramento.

We also have the staff, equipment, resources, and experience to perform tree services at any scale.

Are you seeking stability? We celebrated our 45^th anniversary this year. Many of our managers have been with us 10+ years; some over 20. We like to hire folks who seek a work home; people eager to work hard, learn, and make friends along the way.
