Fertigation Technician

Title: Fertigation Technician
Location: Holbrook, AZ
Pay Range: $17.50–$19.75/hour
Job Type: Full-Time | Non-Exempt
Schedule: Tuesday–Saturday | 6:00 AM – 2:30 PM

Training Schedule:
For the first month, this role will follow a Monday–Friday schedule (6:00 AM – 2:30 PM) for training purposes before transitioning to the standard Tuesday–Saturday shift.

Who You Are:
You’re someone who takes ownership of your work, notices the small details, and doesn’t wait to be told twice — if something looks off, you investigate and correct it. You’re comfortable working independently (including weekends) and understand that fertigation accuracy directly impacts plant health and yield. You enjoy hands-on work, staying organized, and keeping systems running smoothly. You follow SOPs, ask questions when needed, and bring forward solutions, not just problems. Experience in cannabis cultivation or irrigation is helpful, but a willingness to learn, take initiative, and stay consistent in data logging matters just as much.

What You’ll Do:

 As a Fertigation Technician at Curaleaf, you’ll support our cultivation team by managing daily irrigation and nutrient delivery to ensure healthy plants and consistent feed schedules across the facility. You’ll be hands-on with our fertigation systems, monitor and record irrigation metrics, and keep equipment, tanks, and lines clean and functioning properly.

• Operate and maintain fertigation systems and batch tanks.
• Prepare and mix daily nutrient feed for flower rooms.
• Monitor runoff/catch systems and verify correct pH/EC.
• Use solus reader for spot checks and log all irrigation data in Aroya/Growlink.
• Track feed volume, pH, EC, VWC, and root-zone EC for irrigation zones.
• Keep cultivar-specific notes on feed schedules, irrigation shot counts, and observations.
• Clean and sanitize batch tanks and irrigation lines regularly.
• Maintain fertigation equipment, workspace, and nutrient inventory par levels.
• Pull irrigation data daily and escalate issues quickly if readings fall outside range.
• Prepare line-cleaning solutions during harvest cycles.

What You’ll Bring:

• Comfortable working independently, including weekend coverage.
• Strong attention to detail and consistency with data logging.
• Initiative — you notice issues, troubleshoot, and communicate proactively.
• Ability to follow SOPs, stay organized, and maintain a clean workspace.
• Experience with irrigation, nutrient systems, or cultivation is a plus (not required).
• Basic understanding of pH/EC or willingness to learn quickly.
• Ability to perform physical labor (lift/move equipment, bend/stand for long periods).
• Reliable attendance and a team-first mindset.

Please also note that while candidates who are Lawful Permanent Residents (such as those with Green Cards) are eligible for employment with, and are hired by Curaleaf, working for a company engaged in a business that grows and sells a product that is illegal under federal law might compromise the candidate’s immigration status. Before a Lawful Permanent Resident accepts an offer of employment, Curaleaf recommends that the candidate seek the advice of an immigration lawyer.
