Assistant Grower

A BIT ABOUT YOU

You’re passionate about plants and excited to grow your career in concert with the natural world. Accurate, analytical, and detail-oriented, you enjoy the sense of stability that comes with an organized workplace and clear processes. You welcome the opportunity to repeat the same task, striving to be an expert at what you do. Both approachable and diligent, you thrive in a team setting and are committed to doing great work from start to finish. And as much as you like to roll up your sleeves and get the job done, you’re not afraid to ask for help when you need it.

A BIT ABOUT US

We like plants, people, and beautiful spaces. John Mulhall came to Omaha in 1953 to landscape, and now, three generations later, we’re as committed as we’ve ever been to making Omaha a more beautiful place to live. Today, we’re a team of a few hundred people, but our focus remains the same: working together to engage our community and share our passion for the beauty of the natural world. And we have fun doing it.
