• Unloading tree and shrub trucks.

• Unhealing the trees and shrubs that were put away for the winter. 
• Planting purchases made by retail customers.
• Leading a planting crew of 2 or 3 (1 or 2 other people besides yourself).
• Helping with deliveries as needed.

• Previous planting and/or supervising experience is a plus.
• Bilingual (English and Spanish) is a plus.
• You must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver's license and clean driving record for this position.

Schedule and benefits:

• This position requires 40+ hours weekly with a schedule of 4 weekdays and Saturdays, 7am-4pm or 8am-5pm daily. Open availability during the week and the flexibility to work a sixth day as needed are a plus.
• The season would start in March or April and last through beginning of November with possibility of shifts until mid-December, maybe into January if customers need tree removals. We're open to candidates that would need to end sooner.
