Hydroponics technician

Hydroponics technicians grow plants without soil in nutrient-rich water systems, managing the controlled environment they require. The work involves monitoring and adjusting nutrients, water, and climate, diagnosing plant health visually, maintaining the growing systems, and harvesting, combining horticulture with technical system management.

They work in hydroponic and indoor farming operations. The role suits attentive, hands-on people who enjoy combining plant care with technical systems, can read plants and respond to problems, and like the precision and year-round productivity that soilless, controlled-environment growing makes possible.
