We are looking for a person interested in taking their career to the management level at a cutting edge 'growing' wholesale production nursery. Education or experience in horticulture, farming, or a related field is important. If you've got 'green' experience and you're ready to take on a more challenging role this is the job for you! This position will include all aspects of nursery operations. Think Swiss Army Knife. Specific duties include (but are certainly not limited to): General farm operations (loading trailers, irrigation, tilling, spraying, fixing things etc.); Supporting our Integrated Pest and Weed Management programs; Operating a range of farm equipment — tractors, loaders, specialty machines. Previous equipment experience is a must! Assist with maintenance of all forms of farm equipment; Manage on-farm research and trials; Assist with development of some of the most innovative progressive sustainable nursery production techniques anywhere ...seriously. This is a management-track position. We need a person that has the ability to juggle multiple projects, manage field crews, prioritize/organize farm operations, and effectively function when the situation completely changes with little warning. This position is NOT a desk job, the majority of your time will be spent outdoors. The successful candidate will be expected to join in the full spectrum of field operations. The candidate should possess physical strength and endurance. The job requires the ability to lift objects of 50 lbs. Farm operations run year-round, so work outside in very hot, cold, wet, windy, muddy, and dusty conditions should be expected. Farm operations include the use of a wide range of crop protection and weed management products (chemicals). You should have, or be able to get, a Maryland Pesticide Applicator license (Private or Commercial). Raemelton also does USDA Organic production—we need someone equally comfortable with the non-use of chemicals. Raemelton makes use of a wide range of information technologies. We need someone who is comfortable with Microsoft Office software, networked desktop and mobile devices, and can learn to use new software and hardware. Salary is competitive and based on education, skills and experience.
