About This Job

Green Oasis Services – Commercial or Residential Field Applicator


Job description

Green Oasis is a leading provider of fertilizer, weed control, tree care, and vegetation management services across Alberta. Since 1994, we've been committed to delivering high-quality service to residential, commercial, municipal, and industrial clients throughout the province. This summer, we're recruiting motivated post-secondary students who are ready to maximize their earning potential and gain hands-on experience in a fast-paced, outdoor work environment.

We hire students from all schools, faculties, and programs—so if you're hard-working, detail-oriented, and thrive in a team setting, we want to hear from you!


Position Overview:

As a Summer Student at Green Oasis, you will be responsible for a variety of tasks related to turf and vegetation management. This includes everything from applying fertilizer and weed control to safely operating specialized equipment and providing excellent customer service.


Key Responsibilities:

Apply fertilizer and/or weed control using truck-mounted sprayers, backpack sprayers, granular spreaders, and UTV sprayers (if qualified).
Drive 3/4 to 3-ton service units to various urban and rural locations, including long highway drives and gravel roads (defensive driving required).
Navigate to job sites using a combination of maps, apps, and GPS.
Maintain precise records and ensure clear communication with team members and clients.
Uphold a strong safety culture, always prioritizing safety on the job.
Engage with clients and bystanders professionally and confidently.
Assist with troubleshooting and basic maintenance of equipment like gas-powered pumps, sprayers, and service trucks (training provided).
Note:* This is not a sales position—your focus will be on quality service and teamwork.


What We’re Looking For:

Attention to Detail – You’ll be working with precision and ensuring high-quality results, so attention to detail is a must.
Team Player – We pride ourselves on working together to get the job done efficiently and safely.
Positive Attitude – You’ll be outside, on the move, and engaging with clients, so a friendly, professional demeanor is essential.
Adaptability – This is a dynamic role that will require you to adapt quickly to new tasks and environments.


Why Green Oasis?

Great Earning Potential – Competitive pay for summer work, plus the opportunity for overtime.
Hands-On Experience – Gain valuable skills in equipment operation, vegetation management, and customer service.
Supportive Environment – You’ll receive training and work alongside an experienced team that values safety and quality.
Flexible Roles – Whether you’re working in urban areas or heading out to the countryside, no two days are the same!


Qualifications:
