• Working around varied ecosystems, including wetlands, forest borders, and residential gardens.

• Operating near heavy machinery, moving vehicles, and power lines; we provide comprehensive training on situational awareness and safety around power rights-of-way.

• Enduring outdoor conditions in your local climate; you will be working primarily outdoors in various weather conditions in company-provided gear.

• Physical stamina and agility - the role requires regular walking, climbing, stooping, and carrying heavy equipment (like backpack sprayers) over long distances and varied grades.

• Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant suits, gloves, and eye protection as required by product labeling.

• High school diploma or GED; related experience in landscaping, forestry, or agriculture is a plus.

• Valid driver's license from your state of residence with a clean driving record.

• State-mandated Pesticide Applicator License (specifically in categories like Right-of-Way or Ornamental & Turf); we will provide training and coverage for those looking to get certified.

• Availability to work Monday-Friday, with occasional weekends during peak growing seasons.

• A commitment to environmental stewardship and a willingness to become an expert in local plant identification.

• Solid communication skills for explaining technical treatment plans to clients.
