Role Description

We are looking for an experienced and hands-on Horticulturist who can independently manage the complete lifecycle of a landscaping project—from site assessment and landscape planning to plant procurement, on-site execution, handover and maintenance.

The candidate will also be responsible for managing Daali’s nursery and ensuring that all plants remain healthy, well-maintained, properly graded and ready for sale or dispatch to project sites.

Key Responsibilities

Landscape Planning, Design and Execution

- Conduct detailed site surveys to assess dimensions, sunlight, shade, wind exposure, soil condition, drainage, water availability and other site-specific requirements.
- Understand the client’s requirements, design preferences, budget, intended use of the space and long-term maintenance capacity.
- Develop practical landscape concepts, planting layouts, plant palettes, planter-placement plans and zoning plans for indoor and outdoor spaces.
- Select plants according to site conditions, visual requirements, mature plant size, root behaviour, seasonal performance and maintenance requirements.




- Prepare basic 2D landscape drawings using AutoCAD or similar software.
- Read and interpret architectural, civil, MEP and landscape drawings.
- Prepare accurate BOQs covering plants, planters, soil media, fertilisers, irrigation materials, accessories, labour and other project requirements.
- Recommend cost-effective alternatives wherever required without compromising plant health, quality or design intent.
- Coordinate with architects, interior designers and consultants to ensure that the landscaping integrates seamlessly with the overall project.
- Maintain project records, progress photographs, delivery details, material reconciliation, snag lists and handover documents.
- Ensure that completed sites are clean, healthy, visually finished and ready for client handover.
- Conduct post-installation inspections and resolve plant-health or execution-related issues promptly.

Nursery Management and Plant Health
- Take day-to-day responsibility for the overall upkeep, organisation and functioning of Daali’s nursery.
- Regularly inspect plants for pests, diseases, nutrient deficiencies, transplant shock, root damage, watering issues, physical damage and other health concerns.
- Maintain high standards of plant health, appearance and quality so that plants are ready for sale, delivery or installation at project sites.
- Maintain accurate nursery inventory records, including plant varieties, quantities, sizes, condition, location and dispatch status.
- Oversee plant tagging, labelling, pricing support and quality grading wherever required.




- Coordinate with the sales, procurement, delivery and landscaping teams to ensure smooth movement of plants from the nursery.
- Maintain nursery cleanliness, hygiene, safety, drainage and overall presentation.
- Train and supervise nursery staff and gardeners in correct plant-care practices and handling methods.
- Support plant propagation, stock planning and replenishment of high-demand varieties whenever required.

Preferred Candidate Profile

- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Horticulture, Floriculture, Forestry, Landscape Horticulture or a related discipline.
- Minimum 2–4 years of practical experience in horticulture, nursery management and landscape project execution.
- Proven experience in independently handling residential, commercial, institutional, hospitality or township landscaping projects.
- Robust technical knowledge of plant varieties, soil media, nutrition, irrigation, pests, diseases and preventive plant care.
- Practical understanding of both indoor and outdoor landscaping.
- Experience preparing landscape layouts, BOQs, plant schedules, quantity estimates and project timelines.
- Working knowledge of AutoCAD or similar 2D landscape-design software is strongly preferred.
- Ability to read architectural, civil and MEP drawings.
- Strong experience in managing gardeners, nursery staff, labour teams, vendors and multiple project sites.
- Good vendor network or sourcing knowledge for plants, soil media, irrigation materials and landscaping accessories would be an advantage.
- Based in Kolkata or willing to relocate to Kolkata.
- Willing to travel regularly to Daali’s nursery, client locations and outstation project sites.
- Must be proactive, accountable and capable of taking end-to-end ownership rather than waiting for continuous supervision.
