O Mahagua is located in Caraíva, in the southern part of Bahia. We have about 2,000 m² of gardens and agroforestry that require regular care to stay healthy and well maintained.
We are looking for someone who enjoys working outdoors and has hands-on experience in gardening and maintenance of green areas. It is necessary to know how to perform tasks autonomously, responsibly, and with care for the plants.
We will present the space, align priorities, and monitor the work. When applying, tell us where you have worked before, which activities you master, and with which tools you have experience.
The activities include mowing, weeding, cutting branches, performing maintenance pruning, planting, caring for the flower beds, watering, and checking irrigation. Also part of the routine are collecting and organizing plant waste and cleaning and storing tools after use.
Tasks will be arranged according to the needs of the gardens and the agroforestry, considering the climate and the person's experience. The days and times will be aligned before arrival, respecting the working hours stated in the vacancy.
It is a physically demanding outdoor job that requires energy and experience in using the necessary tools.
It is essential to have prior experience in the described activities and to honestly report which tasks and tools you master.
We request punctuality, respect for the agreed times, and care for the plants, animals, tools, and shared spaces.
During the entire stay at the project, it is not allowed to consume alcoholic beverages, use any kind of drugs, or hold parties.
Use tools only when you know how to operate them safely and with the proper protection. Larger pruning, removal of plants and changes to the irrigation must be aligned with us in advance.
Keep the place organized after the activities and report any difficulty, damage, or problem observed.
