Full Job Description

Qualifications & Experience

The Plant Care Specialist / Horticulturist will help guide how plants are cared for across Blue Sparrow properties and will be responsible for teaching and developing our field teams. Because of that, we're looking for someone who already has a strong horticultural foundation and is ready to put that knowledge to work.

Required Qualifications

Candidates should have one or more of the following:

Degree in Horticulture, Plant Science, Landscape Horticulture or a closely related field
OR 5+ years of professional experience in plant husbandry, horticulture, nursery production, ornamental plant care or a closely related field
A combination of formal horticultural education and significant hands-on field experience may also be considered

Candidates must also demonstrate:

Strong knowledge of trees, shrubs, perennials, ornamental grasses and landscape plants
Strong plant identification skills
Knowledge of proper pruning techniques and timing
Understanding of plant health, soil conditions, drainage, irrigation and environmental stress
Ability to recognize and diagnose common insect, disease and cultural problems
Knowledge of proper planting and establishment practices
Understanding of plant selection, mature size, exposure and the concept of putting the right plant in the right place
Ability to evaluate an existing landscape and identify opportunities to improve plant health, appearance and long-term performance
Willingness and ability to work hands-on in the field
Ability to teach, train and guide other employees
Strong communication and problem-solving skills
Valid driver's license

Highly Valued Qualifications

The following are not required, but would make a candidate especially attractive:

Missouri Commercial Pesticide Applicator or Technician License
Experience with pesticide, herbicide and plant health care applications
Bilingual in English and Spanish
Nursery or greenhouse experience
Landscape design and plant-selection experience
Experience training or leading landscape crews
Knowledge of Kansas City-area soils, climate and commonly used landscape plants
Industry certifications or continuing horticultural education

The Person We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who already knows horticulture but is hungry for the opportunity to do something bigger with that knowledge.

Maybe you've spent five, ten or fifteen years working with plants and you're ready for the next step. Maybe you have a horticulture degree but haven't found a company where you can really put it to use. Maybe you've become the person everyone already comes to when they have a plant question.

We want to give that person an opportunity to build a career.

You'll still be hands-on. You'll work in landscape beds, prune plants, diagnose problems, help with installations and work alongside our crews.

But you'll also teach.

You'll help our bed maintenance crews understand plants instead of simply maintaining around them. You'll help our installation teams understand why planting practices matter. You'll assist with plant selection and design. You'll help diagnose problems on our properties.

Most importantly, you'll help us continue developing the Blue Sparrow Standard for horticulture and plant care.

We're looking for someone with knowledge, curiosity, confidence and a desire to grow into greater responsibility as Blue Sparrow grows.

Pay: $22.00 - $25.00 per hour

Benefits:

401(k) matching
Paid sick time
Paid time off

Education:

Bachelor's (Preferred)

Work Location: In person
