The Davey Tree Expert Company is hiring for an On Call Snow Shoveler to join its South St. Paul team this winter. The role is onsite and seasonal, with the opportunity to help clients keep their properties safe and accessible after snowfalls. The company is an employee-owned firm known for safety, client service and a culture that supports career growth. The job location is South St. Paul, MN 55075, and the listing references Req ID: 230061.

In this role, you’ll travel to client sites to clear snow from designated areas and keep pathways, doors and emergency equipment accessible, while using de-icing agents to control ice buildup. You’ll do hands-on shoveling or snow blowing as required, and you’ll report any site obstacles or complete end-of-shift paperwork promptly. The work is seasonal and on-call, running roughly from November 15 through April 15, with coverage available 24/7 during snow events.
Day-to-day, you’ll respond quickly when snow events hit, assess which areas to prioritize, and work to remove snow safely and efficiently. You’ll manage snow and ice in a way that aligns with safety policies and the company’s standards, using the right de-icers and equipment as needed. You’ll also coordinate with the team to ensure any hazards are reported and addressed, and you’ll document your shift activities before leaving each site.
