Temp Foodscaping Position - Greater Philadelphia

[Boris Kerzner]

Hi all,

I run a foodscaping company right outside Philadelphia. We do a mix of installs & maintenance, sometimes general landscaping as well. I currently work alone with hired freelance help for most installs, but I'm reaching the point where I'd like to explore the possibility of hiring someone more regular, freelance / part-time to start. If the fit is good, and as I continue to build out the client base, there is potential for the position to evolve into something full-time. 

If this is something you might be interested in, please see full job description below.

Thanks!
