Summary of Duties:

• Supports seed collection, processing, and storage activities to ensure reliable inputs for propagation.

• Maintains nursery equipment, tools, and facilities, including routine checks and basic upkeep, and identifies repair or replacement needs.

• Establishes practical processes for organizing nursery work and making effective use of available labour and time.

• Coordinates, as required, with external suppliers, training providers, and (as the nursery matures) shipping and buyer contacts related to native plant distribution.

• Performs other related duties as requested.

Experience and Attributes:

• Willingness to learn, adapt, and work through evolving priorities and conditions.

• Previous experience in horticulture, nursery operations, or plant propagation is preferred.

• Previous experience supervising others is preferred.

• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and follow through on tasks.

• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.

• Practical approach to problem-solving, with comfort improvising when conditions change.

• Positive attitude and ability to work well with others.
