Operations Coordinator – Nursery Operations

Build, optimize, and elevate the systems behind a high-performing nursery.

The Opportunity

This is not a routine operations role. As Operations Coordinator, you will be at the center of a fast-moving, quality-driven nursery—owning the systems, infrastructure, and equipment that keep everything running seamlessly.

From irrigation and equipment to logistics and site flow, your work will directly shape the efficiency, productivity, and standard of the entire operation. You’ll be trusted to take initiative, solve problems before they surface, and bring a high level of care and precision to everything you touch.

If you take pride in building organized, well-run environments—and enjoy hands-on work where no two days are the same—this is an opportunity to make a real impact.

Why This Role Matters

This role is critical to the success of the nursery. When operations run well, everything else performs better—from plant quality to team productivity to customer delivery.

You won’t just be maintaining systems—you’ll be improving them, strengthening them, and helping build a more efficient, resilient operation every day.
