Monday through Friday. Evening, nights, and overnight availability is required. Hours may vary from as early as 2PM to 1AM, or 7PM to 5AM per business need.
We should also include location and start date? Not required as headings; could be included in About the role paragraph or a shortmetadata. The instruction says fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it. So we can add a
Location: Gainesville, FL • Start Date: October 19, 2026
maybe after About the role? But we already have About the role paragraph; we could incorporate location and start date there. However we need to preserve all substantive information. The location and start date are substantive. We could add a shortafter the heading About the role? Actually About the role heading is for prose; we could put location and start date in a separate
before the About the role paragraph, but that might be considered metadata. The instruction: "Do NOT put Job ID / requisition numbers as headings — fold minor metadata into a short
or drop it." Location and start date are not minor? They are important but could be placed in a short
. Let's add a
Location: Gainesville, FL • Start Date: October 19, 2026

Let's copy them: - Lead and supervise the day-to-day activities of the IPM team - Ensure compliance with company policies, standard operating procedures, and state medical marijuana regulations - Partner closely with Cultivation Management to develop and execute integrated pest management strategies - Conduct routine pest inspections throughout cultivation areas and implement corrective actions when needed - Identify, prevent, and eliminate insects, diseases, fungi, and other cultivation threats through proactive IPM practices - Mix and apply approved pesticides and biological control products according to established procedures and regulatory requirements - Research treatment methodologies, pesticides, and preventative solutions to continuously improve plant health outcomes - Conduct air quality testing, environmental monitoring, and surface swab assessments to identify contamination risks - Submit environmental cultures and samples to laboratories for identification and analysis - Observe, document, and analyze data from IPM test trays and trials - Maintain current Safety Data Sheets (SDS/MSDS) for all pesticides and plant protection products - Communicate preventative maintenance plans and plant health observations with cultivation teams - Develop, update, and maintain IPM Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) - Lead departmental scheduling and coordinate daily, weekly, and long-term IPM activities - Support cultivation operations as needed to achieve production goals We'll put each as
