Plant Health Care (PHC) Technician
Location: Jessup, MD

Schedule: Monday–Friday Overtime Opportunities
Seasonal: Spring through Fall
Help Trees Thrive. Build Something Bigger.
We're not just another tree company-we're growing fast, and our Plant Health Care division is exploding. So much so, our current PHC tech is buried (in a good way... mostly).
We're looking for someone ready to step in, learn quickly, and become a key player in a high-demand, high-growth part of our business.
What You'll Be Doing
- Applying tree and plant health treatments (fertilization, pest/disease control, soil care)
- Working outdoors daily (yes, in the real world-not behind a desk)
- Operating equipment and maintaining a clean, organized work setup
- Communicating with team members to keep jobs running smoothly
- Learning the science behind tree care (we'll train you)
Why This Role is Different
- Fast growth = real opportunity (we're expanding quickly, and this role matters)
- Hands-on training provided – no experience? No problem
- Overtime available, especially during the busy spring season
- You'll build a skillset that's actually valuable and in demand
What You Need
- Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
- Ability to pass a background check for government site work
- Strong work ethic and willingness to learn
- Comfortable working outdoors in varying conditions
Bonus Points (Not Required)
- Pesticide applicator's license
- Experience in landscaping, tree care, or similar field
Who This is Perfect For
- Someone who wants to work hard, stay active, and not sit behind a desk
- Someone looking to learn a trade and grow with a company
- Someone who takes pride in doing real, visible work
If you're the kind of person who'd rather be outside making things better than staring at a screen all day, you'll fit right in!
Salary : $18 - $24
