Spray Technician

We are actively seeking experienced Spray Technicians to join our fertilization team. We're looking for motivated individuals who are able to work independently, safely, and with the customer in mind.

As a member of our fertilization team, Spray Technicians provide fertilization and product application services. This is done either by using a backpack sprayer (which could weigh up to twenty-five pounds) or a typical walk-behind spreader. Applicants must be able to handle the physical demands of the job, including lifting 50-pound bags of fertilizer, and must be self-motivated, as much of the job is done individually.

As part of Team Drost, you’ll get to work on some of Northern Michigan’s most beautiful properties, helping them look their best all season long. You’ll also receive a comprehensive benefit package that includes health, dental, vision, disability and life insurance, 401k, paid time off, and more. At Drost, we pride ourselves on caring for every member of our team, and we will work with you to help you reach your career goals.
