Floral is looking for a Horticulture Compliance Coordinator – GCP & Plant Certification to support our participation in the United States–Canada Greenhouse-Grown Plant Certification Program (GCP) and the movement of our potted plant products between Canada and the United States. This specialized role combines horticultural knowledge with detailed administrative and compliance work. You will help ensure plant and shipment information is accurate, support GCP certification requirements, maintain audit-ready records, and assist with CFIA inspections and audits.

Working closely with our Potted Plants Purchasing, Customs, Logistics and Warehouse teams, you will provide the horticultural and regulatory information needed to support cross-border shipments. It is a strong fit for someone with plant knowledge, excellent attention to detail,



and an interest in building specialized expertise in horticultural compliance. Coordinate day-to-day compliance under the Greenhouse-Grown Plant Certification Program (GCP).

Review plant and shipment information to ensure compliance with GCP, plant-health and cross-border eligibility requirements. Prepare, verify and maintain phytosanitary, traceability and GCP-related records for potted plant shipments. Maintain accurate plant identification, botanical, origin, eligibility and other required compliance information.

Assist with CFIA inspections and audits, maintain audit-ready records, and track required corrective actions to completion. You have developed strong horticultural knowledge through education, practical experience, or a combination of both. You’re comfortable working with plant identification and botanical/scientific plant names and understand the importance of accurately identifying and documenting plant material.

Just as importantly, you are highly organized and administrative in the way you work. You’re comfortable spending a significant part of your day at a computer, managing detailed information and ensuring records are accurate and complete. Demonstrated ability to perform detailed administrative work accurately, including data entry, recordkeeping and document preparation.

Strong computer skills, including Microsoft Office,



with the ability to learn new systems quickly. A diploma, degree or certificate in horticulture, greenhouse production, plant science, agriculture or a related field is an asset; Previous experience with GCP, CFIA plant programs, phytosanitary requirements, plant traceability, regulated plant movement or horticultural quality/compliance is an asset but is not required. What is harder to teach - and more important to us - is a genuine understanding of plants combined with the accuracy, organization and curiosity needed to manage detailed compliance work.

If you have a horticulture, greenhouse or plant-science background and have demonstrated that you can handle administrative work carefully and reliably, we encourage you to apply even if you have not previously worked with the Greenhouse-Grown Plant Certification Program.
