Maintenance Supervisor

At Pluck'd, we're building a massive, state-of-the-art, 65-acre greenhouse in Carroll County, Virginia - a facility designed to revolutionize how fresh produce is grown and delivered. While our first tomatoes won't roll off the vine until 2026, we need a skilled Maintenance Supervisor now to help set up systems and processes for long-term success.

In this role, you'll start by working directly with equipment, contractors, and vendors to ensure our greenhouse and packhouse are built and maintained to the highest standards. As production ramps up, you'll hire, train, and lead a team of maintenance technicians, transitioning from being the hands-on fixer to the leader who keeps everything running smoothly.

If you thrive on building from the ground up and want to see the literal fruits of your labor grow year after year, this role offers a unique opportunity to shape one of the most advanced greenhouses in the Mid-Atlantic.

Team Leadership & Vendor Management

• Work directly with contractors, suppliers, and external service providers during the initial phase to support system installations and specialized repairs.

• Build and lead a maintenance team as operations scale, including recruiting, training, and scheduling technicians.

• Develop training resources and standardized procedures to ensure a safe, efficient, and reliable maintenance program.

• Participate in an on-call rotation to respond to urgent issues, with a stipend or additional compensation provided.

Safety, Compliance & Continuous Improvement

• Ensure all maintenance work meets regulatory, safety, and environmental standards.

• Collaborate with growing and operations teams to identify opportunities for process improvements.
