Career Opportunity
Become a Safety Inspector
TreeWatch Safety Inspectors are trained field professionals who conduct documented tree risk assessments for homeowners, insurers, and municipalities. No full arborist license required — just the right credential and our platform.
What You Need
Tree Risk Assessor Credential
A qualified tree risk assessor certification is the primary credential for this role. Standalone training programs and examinations are available through several arboriculture organizations — a full arborist license is not required.
A Smartphone
TreeWatch's field assessment tool runs entirely in a mobile browser. You need a camera, GPS, and the phone's level app. No specialized equipment beyond a flexible measuring tape and a $20 inclinometer.
E&O Insurance
Available to credentialed inspectors through several carriers. Required for professional field assessments under the TreeWatch network.
What You Do
- ✓Respond to homeowner or insurer-dispatched assessment requests
- ✓Conduct 13-marker CRTO inspections using the TreeWatch mobile tool
- ✓Submit GPS-tagged, photo-backed reports to the insurer dashboard
- ✓Help homeowners build defensible pre-loss documentation
- ✓Support subrogation investigations with third-party field evidence
The Credential That Matters
A qualified tree risk assessor certification is the key credential for this work. It is specifically designed to produce standardized, defensible tree risk assessments using a documented methodology. Certified tree risk assessors do not need to be full arborists — the standalone training and examination is focused on field risk documentation.
