Sola Wood Flowers is looking for an Agricultural Engineer to help us build and operate farming operations in Mexico, with a focus on eucalyptus cultivation.

You will work closely with our executive team and operations leadership and own the setup and execution of our agricultural operations from land preparation through long-term yield planning.

We are flexible around experience level. Experience with tree crops, forestry, or long-cycle agriculture is required.

Who are we?
At Sola Wood Flowers, we are transforming what artificial flowers can be by providing better flowers for less with our affordable eco-friendly wooden flowers and currently serve over 6% of American weddings annually.

We’re working towards building a modernized $100mm+ vertically-integrated platform selling through direct-to-consumer, owned retail and traditional wholesale channels.

Sola Wood Flowers has grown to ~200 people in less than 6 years and is looking to continue our rapid growth by vertically integrating more of our supply chain. That is where you come in!

What is our culture like & who is a good fit?

Culture-fit is our #1 factor when hiring.
We have a genuine will-to-win. No work is beneath us if it moves us towards our goals.
We utilize creativity to do more with less and move quickly.
We use data to make decisions. The only “arguments” we get in are about how we should be collecting data and how we should be analyzing it.
We love learning. Every problem is an opportunity to grow.
If you want a stress-free corporate 9-5 job, this isn’t it.

If you want to:
Build real agricultural operations from the ground up
Own outcomes instead of just making recommendations
Work with smart, driven, no-politics teammates
Participate meaningfully in the long-term value creation of the business
Then you have come to the right place.

Key Objectives:
Design and launch eucalyptus farming operations from raw land
Select eucalyptus species appropriate for local climate and soil conditions
Design planting density, irrigation, fertilization, and maintenance plans
Model yields, survival rates, and costs per hectare
Build nursery, planting, and ongoing maintenance workflows
Hire and manage local farm labor
Work with leadership to plan capex and long-term agricultural economics
Reduce risk related to pests, disease, and climate variability
Continuously improve agricultural yield efficiency over time

Requirements:
This is an on-site role in Monterrey, Nuevo León
Degree in Agricultural Engineering, Agronomy, or a related field
Direct experience with tree crops or long-cycle crops such as eucalyptus, forestry, citrus, avocado, pine, or similar
Strong operational mindset with hands-on field experience
Comfortable managing farm labor and on-site execution
Strong with numbers and basic modeling of yields and costs
Able to provide references as requested. We do not want to waste your time or ours. Our interview process is detailed and thorough.
No issue working 50+ hours routinely. You wouldn’t know what to do with your free time if you were working less.

Examples of What You’ll Be Doing:
Turning undeveloped land into a functioning eucalyptus plantation
Designing multi-year planting and harvest cycles
Managing day-to-day agricultural operations on-site
Tracking agricultural KPIs and reporting performance to leadership
Working with operations and supply chain to support downstream production needs

How Our Hiring Works & How We Operate:
When hiring, we’ll work with you to define the KPIs you’ll be responsible for and set targets. This removes ambiguity around whether you’re doing a good job after you start.
Initial soft interview, then a long-form live technical interview focused on real-world agricultural execution. Our average time-to-hire from our first interview is ~8–10 days. We pride ourselves on timely responses and updates for applicants.

We run on EOS / Traction. If you’ve used Scaling Up or OKRs, you’ll likely slip into Traction easily. If you haven’t used it before, we recommend quickly researching Traction.

Our compensation philosophy clearly defines how we think about compensation, bonuses, and performance. This will be shared with you after the technical interview.

For this role, we will walk you through the long-term vision for vertical integration, our cost structure, and how this role fits into the future of the business.
