Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Our Services
Does O.A.K. Services require applicants to already hold an ISA certification?
No. While owner Charles Rice is a 14-year ISA Certified Arborist, crew, climber, and equipment operator positions don’t require you to arrive credentialed. O.A.K. operates with a safety-first, paths-forward approach, meaning the company supports skill and credential development on the job. If you have hands-on green industry experience, that’s a strong starting point for careers in Aiken, SC with O.A.K.
What kind of equipment would I actually operate working at O.A.K. Services?
O.A.K. runs a 126-foot, 100-ton tree crane (Tree Mek and Mecanil equipment), heavy-duty grapple-equipped removal rigs, and a stump grinding fleet. The company also holds NCCER National Crane Assessment & Certification Program credentials. Equipment operators work with some of the most capable rigging in the region.
Is O.A.K. Services a stable employer or a seasonal operation?
O.A.K. has operated out of the same Aiken, SC headquarters at 3039 Charleston Hwy since 2005 — 21 years in business under the same owner. The company holds TCIA Accreditation (top 2% nationally), a BBB A+ rating, and provides 24/7 emergency response. That combination of long tenure, accreditation, and round-the-clock service points to year-round operational demand, not a seasonal crew.
