General Foreman

In 1984, Mountain F. Enterprises, Inc. (MFE) was established in Lotus, California with a goal to provide customers with top-quality tree care. As a small residential tree service, it was not long before Mountain Firewood (original name) realized it was time to expand into the firewood business. Four years later, the business blossomed into a full spectrum vegetation management business that specialized in providing services to a variety of customers including federal, state, and local agencies, municipalities, utility companies, timber companies, small landowners, and fire safe councils.

In 2000, our business grew out of the residential tree service and firewood business to providing utility tree trimming and hazard tree removal services to the utility and commercial tree management industries. MFE with its highly skilled and professional personnel, top of the line equipment, and a work ethic unprecedented in the industry, understands that professionalism and competitiveness is non-negotiable.

MFE is currently seeking experienced General Foremans.
