Job description

In a nutshell:

- Full-time or part-time, seasonal to permanent position(s), with plenty of room for growth and flexibility;

- Expending portfolio of small to large, mid- to high-end residential properties, all with a shared focus on customized service and plantsmanship;

- Free-spirited, adaptable, people-minded and horticulturally-trained employer.

Employer & Job Description:

CYAN Horticulture Ltd. is a dynamic, hands-on landscape company with expertise in the design, the installation and the maintenance of mostly residential projects. Established in 2008, CYAN Horticulture has grown a reputation for creative, logistical and horticultural excellence.

We install our own designs as much as those of a handful of partner architects and landscape architects. Each project is carefully customized to better reflect a learned sense of place, strong plantsmanship and sustainability. Most new installations become regulars for maintenance: again, each with its own, customized modus operandi.

We are also operating a Vancouver-based nursery to test, grow and propagate our own plant material. On this site, employees get a chance to do some propagation and other nursery work (especially on rainy days, under cover) and participate in the growing and harvesting of the team's vegetable plot.

All employees are involved in both new softscape installation (hardscape is mostly handled by another crew) and maintenance ⁄ upgrades on regular properties. Schedules are worked out collectively and adapted to the seasons ⁄ weather. Most projects are located in Vancouver and on the North Shore; some punctual out-of-town work (on Gulf islands, up the Coast) is compensated accordingly.

As mentioned, we pride ourselves for offering flexibility: with that in mind, we are open to hiring for full- or part-time positions.
