May 16, 2024—STAMFORD, CT.—Bartlett Tree Experts, the world’s leading scientific tree and shrub care company, is pleased to announce that Jim Dossett has been promoted to Division Manager, overseeing the Company’s operations in Florida.
Known by his Bartlett teammates as being tech-savvy and analytical, Jim earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science from the College of Charleston. Jim holds the following professional credentials: ISA Certified Arborist, ISA Tree Risk Assessment Qualification (TRAQ), Certified Treecare Safety Professional (CTSP), and Safety Management Specialist (SMS). Jim has held many different positions in his nearly 19 years with Bartlett.
In 2005, he joined the Company as an Arborist Ground Person in the Charleston, South Carolina, office. In 2006, Jim became an Arborist Climber and then Crew Leader and Local Office Safety Coordinator in Springfield, Virginia. In 2008, he became a Safety and Training Coordinator in Austin, Texas.
In 2021, Jim was named Regional Safety Manager. In that role, he was instrumental in the planned reorganization of Bartlett’s safety program. He helped create Bartlett’s Driver Safety and Drop Zone Management Training programs. Earlier this year, he created an internal podcast featuring in-depth interviews with Bartlett team members.
Jim Ingram, President and Chief Operating Officer, said, “Jim has become an integral teammate and leader—he has had a hand in just about every safety initiative we have launched as a Company.”
In his new role, Dossett was selected by Ingram to manage the Company’s operations in Florida, including office locations in Oakland Park, Naples, and Tallahassee.
Dossett said, “One of the things I love most about Bartlett is the close connections we share with each other as a team. Because of my experience in the field working closely with crew members, I am able to focus on how the decisions we make as managers affect our employees.”
"I am looking forward to building our Bartlett team
in Florida with a focus on safety while continuing
to deliver the best scientific tree & shrub care solutions
in the industry."
