Our client is seeking an experienced Lawn and Plant Health Care Technician to accurately diagnose and treat pests, diseases, and health issues affecting local trees, shrubs, and turf. The primary objective of this role is to deliver high-quality, safe, and specialized treatments, ensuring that all work is done correctly rather than resorting to rushed, volume-focused practices. Based in Whitehouse Station, NJ, this stable, family-owned and operated tree service company has been an industry staple since 1974. Unlike highly-corporate operations, this close-knit organization prioritizes professional development, heavily invests in top-tier equipment, and fosters long-term career growth for its team members. Responsibilities Diagnose complex health issues affecting trees, shrubs, and turf, specifically identifying insects, pathogens, and environmental stressors.

Execute routine pre-trip and post-trip equipment inspections, clean machinery, and promptly report any mechanical needs. Participate actively in continuous education and high-level training programs provided by the employer. Take immense personal pride in delivering exceptional service and maintaining professional conduct. Requirements Minimum of 3 years of hands-on experience working as a Lawn and Plant Health Technician. Demonstrated expertise in chemical mixing, safe handling, equipment calibration, and rigorous use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Strong dedication to building a long-term career within the tree care industry. Unwavering commitment to maintaining stringent safety standards and avoiding corner-cutting practices. Willingness to actively engage in paid training and ongoing educational opportunities. Relevant industry licenses or certifications. Compensation & Benefits $28.00 - $35.00 per hour for comprehensive Turf & Plant experience. Year-round work availability providing exceptional job stability. Access to high-quality, newly invested professional equipment. Paid training and continuing education opportunities. A close-knit, family-owned and operated working environment. #LI-MS1
