This is an opportunity to turn strong plant knowledge into a specialized, year-round career in horticultural compliance and plant certification.

For someone who loves the plant industry and also enjoys organization, systems, accuracy, detailed information and problem-solving, this role offers the opportunity to develop expertise in an important and specialized area of Northland Floral's growing cross-border business.

Northland Floral is looking for a Horticulture Compliance Coordinator – GCP & Plant Certification to support our participation in the United States–Canada Greenhouse-Grown Plant Certification Program (GCP) and the movement of our potted plant products between Canada and the United States.
