Pond Technician

We have an opening for an entry level pond technician to start in early-mid March. Previous pond experience would be nice, but is not required. We prefer hardscaping or landscaping experience, but anyone with a good attitude and who takes pride in their work is welcome. All ages/races/sexes encouraged to apply.

This job would primarily be for cleaning small man-made ponds in the spring, but would include pond installations and other kinds of pond work the rest of the year, other than when it's freezing. You would meet at the warehouse in Rockville, MD at 7AM and go out with a partner to clean ponds at homes and businesses around Maryland, DC, and Virginia. The ponds need to be drained, scrubbed, and vacuumed. The fish, frogs, and snails need to be moved to and from a holding tank. The aquatic plants need to be trimmed, divided, and re-potted as necessary. The pond debris would be put into a compost pile or bagged and loaded into the work truck. You would clean and repair stonework, pumps, filters, lighting, and other pond equipment. You would be outside most of the day, and you would get wet, muddy, and sweaty.

The person we hire should have the following KEY attributes:

have experience with manual and skilled labor jobs or would like to try

be someone who moves quickly on their feet

be willing and able to lift heavy objects

have a positive mental outlook

know how to take instruction and work well with others

demonstrate proper respect for tools, customer property, and filling out paperwork accurately

be reliable and punctual

don't mind getting dirty, wet, working in a variety of weather conditions

don't mind handling fish, frogs, snails, etc.

have a clean driving record; company has its own vehicles

We need employees to make a commitment through at least the end of December but we are always hoping to find good employees that are willing to stay many years. Besides competitive pay, there is job security (our small business has been around for 29 years), some flexibility with the schedule with reasonable notice, no need to use your own vehicle to get to job sites, and fair and personable bosses who value your contributions. If you've thoroughly read through this and feel you meet these requirements, please send us a resume. Thank you!
