Frequently asked questions

Can I work without fluent English?

Yes. TreeTech supervisors and mentors speak English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian and Polish. You need basic phrases for customers at the door – we give you a phrase card and it comes quickly on the job.

Do I need experience to start in New Jersey?

No. The Installer Helper track starts with 2–4 weeks of paid training with a mentor. If you already have cable, fiber or electrical experience, you skip ahead after a field assessment and start at a higher rate.

What documents do I need?

Authorization to work in the US: an EAD card, Green Card or citizenship. TreeTech is an E-Verify employer. You will also need a driver’s license – if you only have a learner’s permit, talk to the recruiter about options.

How is the pay calculated?

Piece-rate: every work order type has a published point value, and your weekly check is the sum of completed points. You see the rate card before you sign, and every order is visible in the field app – so the math is always checkable.

Do you help with a vehicle or relocation to New Jersey?

Yes. There is a company vehicle-lease program for technicians without their own van, and we help with relocation between our states when routes are open – many techs have moved to New Jersey with our support.
