  • Strong communication and negotiation skills

  • Intermediate Excel skills (tracking, organizing, analyzing data)

  • Experience with job costing (a plus, not required)

Physical Requirements

  • Able to lift up to 50 lbs

  • Comfortable operating a skid steer (or willing to learn)

    If you know plants, understand the industry, and enjoy the challenge of sourcing and negotiating—we want to talk to you.
