Nursery Technician to Assist in Growing Crops
The crop development team is looking for an employee to assist in and eventually take on full responsibilities for daily crop management of a portion of our product. The successful candidate will operate under the direction of our growers but will be expected to work independently much of the time.
The immediate need of our crop development team is to gain assistance during the busiest part of our growing season. This is a three to five month period that will provide the successful candidate with an opportunity to gain valuable experience in crop care. If the successful candidate demonstrates significant potential we may choose to transition this position to a full time one.
The successful candidate will learn to manage the moisture levels in crops, apply fertilizers, and maintain crop records. Knowledge in the operation and maintenance of irrigation systems, climate control systems and facility equipment specific to growing forest seedlings will also be gained.
We are looking for an individual with formal horticultural training. Experience in the job function will also be given significant consideration. We will also be willing to provide formal training to an appropriate candidate that has a strong desire to pursue a career in growing seedlings.
