Nursery Sales Associate

Landmark Nursery & Landscaping is hiring for the Nursery Sales Associate position in Eagle, NE. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Water, move, space, label, prune, weed, and organize nursery plants according to their needs and supervisor direction. • Assist with receiving, potting, propagation, order preparation, loading, or customer support as assigned. • Identify visible plant stress, pest pressure, irrigation trouble, damaged stock, or label errors and report them promptly. • Care for and restock trees, shrubs, perennials, annuals, and other plant material; unload and load plant and hard-goods trucks; apply price tags; and keep inventory in its correct location. • Assist nursery customers first, determine what help they need, answer plant and product questions within your knowledge, and find a qualified coworker when a question requires additional expertise. • Follow manager work lists, alert buyers when products or plants run low, answer phones, use the QuickBooks register, and keep floors, displays, sales areas, and waste stations clean and safe. How the work fits together Nursery priorities begin with living inventory: irrigation and plant-health checks cannot wait simply because another task is more convenient. Work then moves through production care, accurate organization, order or sales preparation, and cleanup. Careful labels and handling protect months of plant growth and ensure customers receive the correct material.

What the employer is looking for • At least one year of provable horticulture sales, garden-center sales, or other plant-industry experience and ability to pass the employer's knowledge test for the position. • Ability to lift 50 pounds repeatedly and work in hot, dry, wet, or cold conditions; some May, June, September, and October weekend hours are expected, while a good driving record and pesticide license are valued but not mandatory. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods.
