Working at SLT

Sand Lake Tree LLC                      ( updated August 11th, 2026)

Sand Lake Tree LLC will have an event, like a meet and greet, in Aberdeen SD to show case what Sand Lake Tree LLC does and what employees possibly can expect working for us.  Also, no applications will be accepted at the event. Blank employment applications will be handed out at the end of the event.  We want to make sure potential applicants learn about Sand Lake Tree LLC and after that “Meet and Greet”, decide if working for our company will be a fit for you.

Sand Lake Tree LLC is looking to hire very entry level  team members to help complete our customer’s projects faster.

  Sand Lake Tree LLC and the company owner does some innovative work, new methods and the equipment used is optimally used and even sometimes newly engineered and built in house.  If you are looking for a job where you just sit in a truck or piece of equipment all day, doing the same thing day in and day out, this might not be the job for you. That is why the Meet and Greet event.

 When driving past a construction site, there are restrooms available for employees and so we are going to offer that too. That is one example of how much Sand Lake Tree LLC respects our employees and their privacy, even when we work on remote locations, there will at least be pot-a-potties for employee use. It is how we see our employees and want everyone to have a minimal expectation of maintaining human dignity and having minimal barriers for people to work for our company. Our anti-harassment and anti-bullying policy will be strictly enforced. Employees deserve a safe place to work and earn a living.

 We think we are doing some neat stuff and we want you to join us at our Meet and Greet.  Look over our website, we are not a tree service.

  Please, no calls.  Please email job@sandlaketree.com for the time and date of the “Meet and Greet” event. It is planned for Saturday, August 22nd.
