The Silver Stream Farm Head Groweris responsible forplant health and plant performance across all our crops. This role combines hands-on plant care with climate control, irrigation,fertigation, and sensor systems, to achieve consistent crop health, reliability, and production outcomes. This role designs production plans and translates data and environmental conditions into strong yields and high-quality harvests. You will ensure environmental systems, nutrient delivery, and pest prevention strategies are aligned and reliably executed across all greenhouse zones. This role is central to plant health and yield stability.This role sets the standard for plant health practices and serves as the final decision maker for crop health, environmental tuning, and system level growing adjustments.
Key Responsibilities Plan and manage crop production across five greenhouse zones with distinct climate conditions and production goals.Success in this role looks like stable yields, healthy plants across all zones, early detection of issues, and growing systems that perform reliably week after week.
Nutrient and Crop Health Integration
Respond to crop health signals using both data and direct observation
Collect and interpret leaf tissue analysis to inform nutrient and climate adjustments
Support nutrient programs through coordination of fertigation and environmental conditions
Grow Team Leadership
Train, support, and set performance expectations for plant care attendants
Establish daily and weekly plant care priorities and workflows
Ensure consistent execution of plant health standards across all zones
Climate, Irrigation, and Fertigation Systems
Operate,monitor, andoptimizegreenhouse climate systems including heating, cooling, ventilation, humidity control, and CO₂ delivery
Manage automated irrigation and fertigation systems to ensureaccurate, consistent, and crop-appropriate nutrients and water delivery
Adjust environmental and fertigation setpoints, schedules, and strategies based on crop stage, seasonal conditions, and production needs
Sensors, Data, and Diagnostics
Calibrate,maintain, and verify accuracy ofenvironmentalsensors
Monitor trends, alarms, and system behavior toidentifyabnormal conditions and diagnose issues early
Maintain reliable communication between controllers, sensors, and networked systems
Qualifications
2 to 5 years ofgreenhouse growingexperience
Experience collecting and interpreting leaf tissue analysis
Hands on experience withIIVO or similarclimate controlsystem,irrigation, and fertigation systems, as well asbasic electrical troubleshooting
Experience working with environmental sensors and data driven adjustments
Working knowledge of common greenhouse pests and integrated pest management practices
Physical and Work Environment Requirements
Ability to work full time onsite in an active greenhouse and farm setting
Comfortable standing, walking, bending, kneeling, climbing ladders, andlifting upto 60 pounds
Comfortable working around water, wet floors, electrical systems, and farm equipment
Comfortable working in fluctuating temperatures, including high greenhouse heat andcold winterconditions at high elevation, with strong awareness of hydration and physical safety
Willingness to follow all safety protocols and respond appropriately to changing conditions
Ability to work closely with beneficial insects, organic pest control products, and in areas where bees are actively used for pollination
Why This Role Matters Strong plant health is not accidental.It’sthe result of aligned climate control, precise nutrient delivery, reliable sensors, and informed decisions made before small issues become costly ones. This role ensures that alignment happens every day,and itis foundational to the stability and performance of the entire farm.
The Head Grower is the connective tissue between plant biology, environmental systems, and day-to-day execution. When this role is done well, problems areidentifiedearly, systems stay in balance, and crops perform consistently across seasons and zones.
