Monitor the health of plants and trees (phytosanitary monitoring — plant health) and intervene in time
Enhancement of plants
Showcase plants and trees intended for sale and landscaping projects
Prepare plants for events and fairs held at various times of the year
Ensure consistent quality: a plant leaving the site is a plant in perfect condition

Solid knowledge of plants: you recognise the species, you know their needs
Expertise in ornamental trees and environmental trees is a real plus

Comfortable with physical outdoor work, all year round
Driving licence B essential; licence BE or phytolicence are advantages
