• Manage all fertilizer injector stations on the property, including monitoring EC/pH levels, calibrating equipment, and ensuring accurate nutrient delivery to all crops.

• Scout propagation and production areas daily for signs of pests, disease, or plant stress, and report findings to the Propagation Manager.

• Maintain accurate, up-to-date records of chemical applications, fertilizer rates, and crop monitoring observations.

• Follow all required safety procedures and wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying chemicals.

• Maintain cleanliness and organization of propagation areas, chemical storage, and fertilizer stations.

• Assist with other propagation, production, or greenhouse tasks as assigned.

Requirements

• High school diploma or equivalent.

• Ability to accurately measure, mix, and apply chemical solutions following label directions.

• Ability to follow written and verbal instructions and work both independently and as part of a team.

• Previous experience in greenhouse propagation, nursery production, or agriculture.

• State pesticide applicator license/certification, or willingness to obtain one.

• Experience operating and maintaining fertilizer injector systems.

• Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.
