Rockaway

Spray Technician — Turf & Ornamental | $25–$30/hr | 4-Day Work Week

If you can read a lawn, we’ll pay you like it. And you’ll be off every Friday.

Most spray techs run a program. You read the property.

Rockaway Landscape is hiring an Agronomics Technician to own turf and ornamental treatment cycles across our commercial portfolio in Northeast Florida.

Monday through Thursday. Ten-hour days.

What you’ll actually do

• Run fertilization, herbicide, insecticide, and fungicide cycles on commercial properties
• Diagnose in the field pests, disease, weeds, nutrient issues, and the cultural problems everybody else misdiagnoses
• Run a hose and a ride-on spreader/sprayer, calibrated by you, to label rate, every time
• Be the person account managers call when nobody knows what’s wrong with the turf

What you need

• Limited Urban Commercial Fertilizer Applicator certificate (GI-BMP) for fertilizer work.
• Missing that? Apply anyway. If you’ve got the experience and the eye, we’ll pay for the training and get you certified.
• 2+ years applying on commercial turf and ornamental in Florida preferred
• Real identification skills — we test this in the field, not on paper
• Valid Florida driver’s license and a clean enough MVR to drive our truck

Bonus points: GHP experience, bilingual, or you’ve trained techs before.

What we pay

$25–$30 per hour, based on experience and what you’re certified in. Not “competitive.” That’s the number.

Plus:

• Four-day work week — Monday through Thursday, 10-hour days. Overtime as needed.
• 401(k) with company match
• Health insurance
• We pay for your licensing, renewals, and CEUs
• PTO
• A real next rung. We promote out of the field.

Why Rockaway

Our people stay. That’s the whole pitch, and in this industry it’s rare enough to be worth saying out loud. Techs who come here tend to still be here in five years, because the benefits are better than what most of this industry offers and because there’s somewhere to go management seats get filled from the inside.

Note: No take-home truck at hire. Vehicle is yard-based.

Rockaway Landscape is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
