Job description

Plant Health Care (PHC) Technician

Location: Jessup, MD
Pay: $18–$24/hour (based on experience)
Schedule: Monday–Friday + Overtime Opportunities
Seasonal: Spring through Fall

Help Trees Thrive. Build Something Bigger.

We're not just another tree company-we're growing fast, and our Plant Health Care division is exploding. So much so, our current PHC tech is buried (in a good way... mostly).

We're looking for someone ready to step in, learn quickly, and become a key player in a high-demand, high-growth part of our business.

What You'll Be Doing

• Applying tree and plant health treatments (fertilization, pest/disease control, soil care)
• Working outdoors daily (yes, in the real world-not behind a desk)
• Operating equipment and maintaining a clean, organized work setup
• Communicating with team members to keep jobs running smoothly
• Learning the science behind tree care (we'll train you)

Why This Role is Different

• Fast growth = real opportunity (we're expanding quickly, and this role matters)
• Hands-on training provided – no experience? No problem
• Overtime available, especially during the busy spring season
• You'll build a skillset that's actually valuable and in demand

What You Need

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to pass a background check for government site work
• Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
• Comfortable working outdoors in varying conditions

Bonus Points (Not Required)

• Pesticide applicator's license
• Experience in landscaping, tree care, or similar field

Who This is Perfect For

• Someone who wants to work hard, stay active, and not sit behind a desk
• Someone looking to learn a trade and grow with a company
• Someone who takes pride in doing real, visible work

If you're the kind of person who’d rather be outside making things better than staring at a screen all day, you'll fit right in!
