Join the crew.

We hire for attitude and train for skill. If you take pride in hard, careful work in the North Woods, we want to hear from you.

Why work here

Real work, done right, with a crew that has your back.

Dutchman is a small, owner-led company doing stewardship-first tree care and wildfire mitigation on the Iron Range. The work is demanding and the standard is high, and the team takes care of each other on every job.

We invest in the right people: training, certifications, and a clear path to take on more responsibility.
