We are searching for a Glasshouse Technician to join our dynamic company, based in Bibra Lake, WA. The successful applicant will be proactive, innovative and excited about cereal breeding and horticulture. This is an amazing opportunity to get your foot in the door and see where it takes you.
THE ROLE
The position of Glasshouse Technician is a hands-on role and a physical job. We are looking for an enthusiastic individual with a love of agriculture and plant propagation. The individual will work within an established team and will report to the Glasshouse Lead.
The role will involve undertaking operations relating to the glasshouse production of wheat, barley and oat populations for the breeding programs, along with general glasshouse maintenance.
Previous experience crossing cereal crops is highly desirable, but the ability and willingness to learn a must. An understanding of irrigation, pest/disease management, with some exposure to nurseries or a horticultural background would be seen favourably, but a love of plants is truly what you need.
Our ideal candidate will have an outgoing personality with the ability to integrate within an already established team, as well as excellent interpersonal skills. If you like learning, asking questions and taking on new tasks we want to hear from you.
