Are you passionate about plants and ready to grow your career in a collaborative, hands-on environment? We’re hiring a bilingual Assistant Grower to join a well-established, family-owned agricultural business with deep roots in Oregon’s rich nursery industry.

Why You’ll Love This Opportunity

• Full benefits package including medical, dental, vision, FSA/HSA options, paid time off, and 401(k) with a company match
• Parental leave and dependent care support —we value family as much as you do
• Employee discounts and growth opportunities
• Welcoming all experience levels —whether you're a recent graduate or a seasoned grower without a degree, we want to hear from you!

Your Role: Assistant Grower

Reporting to the Production Manager, you’ll play a key role in supporting nursery operations—from crop planning to plant health—while working closely with site supervisors, section growers, and production teams.

This is more than a growing job. You’ll help shape the future of the nursery by improving efficiency, nurturing a strong team culture, and ensuring top-quality plant production for our customers.

Key Responsibilities

• Work alongside growers and supervisors to produce healthy, beautiful plants
• Support daily production planning and labor coordination
• Monitor and maintain crop quality—irrigation, soil, plant health, fertilization, and chemical application
• Collaborate with the Sales team to meet customer needs and crop timelines
• Lead by example: ensure safety, teamwork, and communication across departments
• Help train and support staff in Lean/Continuous Improvement practices
• Maintain a clean, safe, and organized work environment
• Follow and communicate company policies clearly and respectfully

What We’re Looking For

• Bilingual in English and Spanish —must be fluent in both
• Knowledge of horticulture/agriculture or nursery production
• Strong communication and leadership skills
• Comfortable using hand tools and operating equipment (tractors, forklifts, etc.)
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and work in various weather conditions
• Willingness to learn, take initiative, and work as part of a team
• Experience using basic computer software is a plus

Work Environment

• Indoor and outdoor work in varying weather—rain, shine, or snow
• Exposure to common agricultural elements such as dust, insects, and equipment noise
• Active, physical role—expect a mix of desk work, walking, lifting, and equipment use

Join a Team Where You Matter

This is a chance to be part of something bigger—growing plants, growing people, and growing your career. If you're hardworking, bilingual, and ready to thrive in a dynamic nursery environment, apply now and bring your passion for plants to life.

Apply today or reach out to Jennie Joiner at The Forum Group PNW for more information.
