Location: Sussex, WI
Salary: The starting pay for this position is $26.56, with actual rate dependent on experience and qualifications.

The Village of Sussex is searching for a skilled Arborist to help lead our community forestry efforts. This position plays a critical role in shaping our community's tree care efforts, ensuring the long-term health, safety, and beauty of the public trees in all of our forested areas.

As Arborist, you will have the unique opportunity to develop policies, implement best practices, and leave a lasting impact on the village’s extensive tree canopy. This is a rare chance to take ownership of an evolving program and make a real difference in the quality of life for our community.

Sussex’s long-standing commitment to urban forestry has positioned us to take the next steps in building from this great asset. We are looking for a passionate and experienced Arborist to help lead the next phase of our urban forestry program.

In 2024, the Village Board adopted an Urban Forestry Management Plan, developed by Wachtel Tree Science funded in part by a DNR Urban Forestry Grant, which sets a clear path for the future of our public trees. We earned the Tree City USA designation in 2020, and in 2023, we proudly received our first Growth Award.
Sussex has made a significant investment in our urban canopy, with an intentionally diversified program including 87 different species. A 2025 GIS update will complete a full tree inventory. Additionally, 53% of our 3,000 tree records consist of trees with a 1”-6” DBH, reflecting the growth of our community and a diverse, healthy tree population for future generations.

Qualifications:
• Bachelor of Science in Urban Forestry, Forest Management, or a related field preferred. Associate degrees and significant on-the-job experience will be considered.
• Valid Driver’s License.
• Class B CDL with manual brake and airbrake endorsements, or ability to obtain within 6 months of employment.
• Must live within 45 minutes of the Village of Sussex for on-call duty.
• ISA Certified Arborist or ability to maintain when certification parameters are met.

Pay and Benefits:
The starting pay for this position is $26.56, with actual rate dependent on experience and qualifications. Sussex has an excellent benefits package, participation in the Wisconsin Retirement System, a deferred compensation match, a strong commitment to professional development, and a family friendly work environment.

Application Process:
Qualified applicants should submit a completed employment application, resume, and letter of interest at villagesussex.org/hiring. The first review of applications will take place on Friday, May 16, 2025.
