Rare Plant Daddy is a licensed Arizona nursery in Scottsdale shipping live rare
and tropical plants to customers nationwide. We're hiring a Plant Packer to
prepare and pack orders for shipment.
This is hands-on, physical work in a plant environment. Your main job is packing
plants correctly and quickly so they arrive alive and undamaged. You'll also help
with general nursery tasks as needed.
What you'll do:
- Pack live plants for shipping: wrapping, securing root balls, boxing, and
padding so plants survive transit
- Match orders to the correct plants and quantities before they go in the box
- Print and apply shipping labels; stage and consolidate orders by customer
- Receive and unload incoming shipments; unbox and inspect plants on arrival
- Keep the packing area clean, stocked, and organized
Other nursery tasks you'll help with occasionally:
- Watering and general plant care
- Potting and transplanting
- Taking and sticking cuttings for propagation
- Labeling and tagging plants
- General cleanup and facility upkeep
What we're looking for:
- Reliable and on time - this is the single most important thing
- Careful hands and attention to detail; plants are fragile and mistakes cost us
a live plant plus a refund
- Able to work at a steady pace when order volume is high
- Comfortable working around soil, water, and plant material
- Able to lift up to 50 lbs and stand, bend, and reach for the length of a shift
Nice to have, not required:
- Previous nursery, greenhouse, garden center, or warehouse packing experience
- Experience with e-commerce order fulfillment or shipping software
- Interest in plants
We'll train you on our packing standards. No plant experience needed if you're
reliable and careful.
