Want to be a Treehouse Builder?
As a small but growing tree house building company, we are always interested in finding talented and enthusiastic people to join the team. However, we seldom find an applicant who is a highly skilled carpenter, an experienced tree climber, enjoys customer service, is a creative designer, and has a business savvy! In reality, most new treehouse builder applicants can only check one or two of those boxes, and that's okay if you bring a great attitude!

The Life of a Traveling Treehouse Builder
Traveling is part of the job and our #1 issue, complaint, and reason for separation with our year round staff. Every treehouse company that we know of has wrestled with this issue. It can be tough on families. Traveling is generally 3 days to 2 weeks at a time. Sometimes families can travel with us depending on the situation. We do require that full time builder applicants live within commuting distance of West Chester, PA.
Internships:
We consider tree house internships on a case by case basis. When you apply, please include your objectives for the internship. Make sure to tell us at least the following:
- what requirements your school has for the program in order for your work to qualify?
- what skills you have and want to use that are relevant to tree house building?
- what skills you want to learn by working at a tree house building company?
- what pay requirements do you have?
