Job Summary:

The Farm Operations Associate plays a vital role in supporting the maintenance and overall success of Tides Inn Farm Operations. This position involves a wide range of hands-on tasks that contribute to crop production, equipment upkeep, and the general care of farm facilities. The role requires a dependable individual who is comfortable working outdoors and contributing to both seasonal and day-to-day farm activities.

Regular and reliable attendance is essential to success in this role. The Farm Operations Assistant works closely with the Farm Supervisor to complete winter projects and assist with ongoing farm tasks as needed. Responsibilities include fence construction and maintenance, preparing fields and planters for winter, and maintaining the cleanliness and organization of farm property. The position also involves light carpentry work, operating and maintaining farm equipment, and assisting with the loading and unloading of produce.

Additional duties include weeding and pruning plants, applying fertilizers and pesticides, and repairing or maintaining farm structures. The ideal candidate consistently demonstrates and upholds the Tides Inn mission and values while contributing positively to the team environment.

This is an individual contributor role that requires strong core competencies, including customer focus, good judgment, action orientation, and a commitment to self-development.

Candidates must be able to follow instructions, work independently when needed, and possess a high school diploma or equivalent.
