  • Monitoring crops for pests, diseases, and irrigation needs—acting promptly to keep plants in top condition.

  • Following OH&S, plant health, and nursery protocols to maintain biosecurity and high standards.

  • Working collaboratively with colleagues to keep nursery systems efficient, safe, and customer-focused.

What we’re looking for:

  • Horticultural knowledge (or a strong enthusiasm to develop it).

  • Enjoyment of practical, outdoor work in a fast-paced environment.

  • A reliable team player with excellent attention to detail.

  • Willingness to keep learning and building skills.

  • A commitment to plant health, safety, and quality.

What we offer:
