Job description

Please note that this position is based on our campus in Madison, WI, and requires relocation to the area. We recruit nationally and provide financial relocation assistance.
Join us as a Horticulture Technician and work with our team to maintain our one-of-a-kind campus. Our horticulture team takes pride in caring for a diverse campus landscape that promotes creativity, creates a lasting impression for our customers, and demonstrates our commitment to sustainable practices.
You'll assist our team by joining and helping to lead projects on our campus, site, or turf teams. Your responsibilities could include caring for our ornamental gardens of campus, maintaining turf and irrigation systems, or gaining hands-on experience like planting, watering, weeding, mulching, pruning, deadheading, burning, and snow removal.
If you're passionate about horticulture and eager to grow your skills, this is an exciting opportunity to cultivate your knowledge and contribute to our unique landscape.
Live affordably in a city known for its rising tech talent.
Epic is located just outside Madison, Wisconsin, the second fastest growing market for tech talent in the United States and home to the state capital and the University of Wisconsin. Madison, a city surrounded by water, has received accolades for being the greenest city in America (NerdWallet), the best city for renters (SmartAsset), the fittest city in America (Fitbit), and the third best metro in the US for young professionals (Forbes Advisor).
More than just important work.
Our uniquely themed campus was designed to heighten your ability to get stuff done in your office, a conference room, or by the fireplace in a comfy chair. All meals are restaurant-quality but cost only a few dollars, and they’re prepared by a team comprised of kitchen talent from restaurants around the country. And, after five years here, you’ll earn a four-week sabbatical anywhere in the world. Staff have kayaked in Patagonia, attended a Beyoncé concert in Ireland, built a library in Tanzania, and run a marathon in Antarctica.
We offer comprehensive benefits to keep you healthy and happy as you grow in your life and career, and your merit-based compensation will reflect the impact your work has on the company and our customers. You'll also be eligible for annual raises and bonuses, as well as stock grants, which give you an even greater stake in the success of Epic and our customers.
