Title: Fertigation Technician

Pay Range: $17.50-$19.75/hr

Location: Phoenix, AZ

Job Type: Full Time | Non-Exempt

Shift: Saturday - Wednesday | 5:00 AM - 1:30 PM

Who You Are

You’re someone who takes ownership of your work, notices the small details, and doesn’t wait to be told twice — if something looks off, you investigate and correct it. You’re comfortable working independently (including weekends) and understand that fertigation accuracy directly impacts plant health and yield. You enjoy hands-on work, staying organized, and keeping systems running smoothly. You follow SOPs, ask questions when needed, and bring forward solutions, not just problems. Experience in cannabis cultivation or irrigation is helpful, but a willingness to learn, take initiative, and stay consistent in data logging matters just as much.

What You’ll Do

As a Fertigation Technician at Curaleaf, you’ll support our cultivation team by managing daily irrigation and nutrient delivery to ensure healthy plants and consistent feed schedules across the facility. You’ll be hands-on with our fertigation systems, monitor and record irrigation metrics, and keep equipment, tanks, and lines clean and functioning properly.

• Operate and maintain fertigation systems and batch tanks.
• Prepare and mix daily nutrient feed for flower rooms.
• Monitor runoff/catch systems and verify correct pH/EC.
• Use solus reader for spot checks and log all irrigation data in Aroya/Growlink.
• Track feed volume, pH, EC, VWC, and root-zone EC for irrigation zones.
• Keep cultivar-specific notes on feed schedules, irrigation shot counts, and observations.
• Clean and sanitize batch tanks and irrigation lines regularly.
• Maintain fertigation equipment, workspace, and nutrient inventory par levels.
• Pull irrigation data daily and escalate issues quickly if readings fall outside range.
• Prepare line-cleaning solutions during harvest cycles.

What You’ll Bring

• Comfortable working independently, including weekend coverage.
• Strong attention to detail and consistency with data logging.
• Initiative — you notice issues, troubleshoot, and communicate proactively.
• Ability to follow SOPs, stay organized, and maintain a clean workspace.
• Experience with irrigation, nutrient systems, or cultivation is a plus (not required).
• Basic understanding of pH/EC or willingness to learn quickly.
• Ability to perform physical labor (lift/move equipment, bend/stand for long periods).
• Reliable attendance and a team-first mindset.
