The Garden Nerd

Field Technician

Part-Time (~60 hrs/month) · $25/hr, W-2 · Monday–Thursday

We're hiring one field tech. The Garden Nerd is growing faster than our crew can keep up with, and a spot just opened up. I'd rather fill it from this audience than a job board. You'd be one of two techs at a company scaling across the Valley.

This starts part-time, around 60 hours a month—growing as the routes fill. If you need 40 guaranteed hours starting Monday, this isn't that yet. It's a great fit if:

  • You're saving up money before school starts
  • You're partway through your degree and need income that works around classes
  • You're newly married, finishing college, and building the fund

You'll train on route with our lead tech, running our Monday–Thursday routes. You'll apply our exclusive liquid fertilizer blend with a spray rig at residential yards, usually 15 to 30 minutes a stop. You'll also spread compost, plant shrubs and trees, and help with our tree recovery program. It's real, physical, outdoor work in Arizona heat. But you're outside, you're moving, and every weekend is yours, Friday through Sunday.

When we double our client base and add the next truck, you run your own route.

No landscaping experience required. We're an education-first company built on desert landscape science, and we train you in our method from day one. What we can't train: showing up reliably, being coachable, and being someone homeowners are happy to see. Our techs represent a brand people recognize in their own neighborhoods.

The Garden Nerd fertilizing service
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record
  • Able to lift 50 lbs and work outside in the heat
  • Reliable, coachable, friendly with homeowners
Schedule
Monday–Thursday, with an early morning start, usually finishing by early afternoon.In the summer we start early on purpose to stay ahead of the heat. That means your mornings need to be free, so if you have school or another job in the mornings, this one isn't for you. Weekends are always yours, Friday through Sunday.
Pay
$25/hr, W-2.Part-time becomes full-time as routes fill. Lead tech and route manager roles get filled from inside as we grow.
Location
One of two techs at a company scaling across the Valley.
Type
