- Being willing to put in some (properly paid) overtime if the crew lead deems it necessary to complete a task during our busy season.

In order to carry out these duties, the following skills and knowledge are required:

- Valid BC driver's license, Class 5
- A keen interest in plants, horticulture, and ecology, as well as an intention to expand your knowledge on a supported but ultimately self-driven, ongoing basis.
- Some tool and machine knowledge; familiarity with small gas and electric maintenance equipment such as mowers, hedge and grass trimmers, ladders, hand saws, etc. Some conceptual understanding of machines, their safe use, and responsible care.
- Good vehicle awareness, with an ability to safely operate as well as maintain an awareness of vehicle conditions, in order to report anything that needs tending to.
- An ability to work outside in a variety of weather conditions, including cold, rain, and heat.
- An ability to put in a full day of physical labour outdoors at a consistent, commercial pace.
