Join a mission-driven team focused on climate resilience by applying your arboriculture expertise to real-world environmental challenges. In this remote, part-time role, you'll evaluate satellite imagery to detect signs of tree stress, determine species, and assess potential risks to infrastructure—particularly the electrical grid.
What You'll Do
You’ll work closely with a lead arborist to interpret vegetation patterns from space-based imagery, using AI-assisted tools to flag hazardous conditions before they escalate. Your assessments will directly inform actions that reduce wildfire risk and improve grid reliability.
- Examine high-resolution satellite images to identify tree species and signs of decline
- Verify vegetation encroachment near power lines and other critical zones
- Review and validate data from other team members for accuracy in species ID, tree height, and hazard classification
- Use geospatial software to support analysis and quality assurance
What We’re Looking For
You have hands-on experience in forestry or arboriculture and a sharp eye for detail. You're comfortable working independently, meeting deadlines, and giving and receiving constructive feedback. You communicate clearly—both visually and in writing—and adapt quickly in a changing technical environment.
- Proven field or analytical experience as an arborist or forester
- Strong visual analysis skills with the ability to interpret tree health remotely
- Self-directed work style with minimal oversight needed
- Excellent communication skills in fast-moving contexts
Nice to Have
- ISA Certified Arborist credential
- Experience analyzing satellite or aerial imagery for vegetation assessment
- Familiarity with QGIS, ArcGIS, or similar GIS platforms
- A collaborative mindset and openness to feedback
Technology & Environment
You’ll use QGIS, ArcGIS, and AI-powered tools designed to scale tree-level insights across large landscapes. Our team values innovation, environmental stewardship, and practical problem-solving. We’re outdoors people—climbers, hikers, parents, creators—who believe technology can protect ecosystems and communities.
This is a contract position requiring 10–20 hours per week, with workload varying seasonally. Candidates must be based in the U.S.
