If you have a genuine curiosity for how plants grow and love being part of a collaborative team, you'll thrive here.

YOUR DAY TO DAY

• Conduct daily plant inspections, watching for pests, pathogens, mold, fungi, or other concerns

• Perform routine plant maintenance across all stages of the growth and harvest cycle
• Keep your work area clean, organized, and ready for the next task
• Maintain accurate logs relevant to your role
• Pitch in on additional tasks that keep the team and department running smoothly
