General Labor

Micro Paradox is a tissue culture and micropropagation laboratory that provides clean nursery stock to commercial nurseries in the United States and abroad. Plants produced by Micro Paradox are disease-free, uniform, and true-to-type. 

About our Roles

Micro Paradox has a variety of general labor positions available:

• Laboratory technicians precisely cut and stick plants and work in aseptic or semi-aseptic lab areas (clean rooms)
• Planting technicians stick plants in soil trays in a warehouse-style work area
• Grafting technicians assist with our micrografting program in warehouse-style, greenhouse, and outdoor work areas
• Greenhouse technicians sort, move, and pack plants in the greenhouse and outdoor work areas

Employee responsibilities are subject to change depending on business needs.

We accept applications year-round, even when positions are not available. When positions do become available, we review applications submitted within the past 3 months.

All positions are entry-level (some past work experience preferred, but not required) and involve periods of regular sitting and standing. While all positions are seasonal temporary, longer-term employment is possible. Employees become eligible for a partial employer-matching 401(k) and health plans after one year of employment with Micro Paradox.

Successful Micro Paradox employees are detail-oriented, friendly, punctual, and eager to learn new skills. If you were referred by a Micro Paradox employee, let us know!
