Horticultural Inspectors

Inspectors should have experience inspecting and testing a variety of horticultural products, such as plants and livestock. They should be skilled at collecting samples from animals and plants, analyzing them accurately, and writing clear and concise reports that convey vast amounts of information and investigative work.

Horticultural inspectors must be precision-minded, have an eye for detail, and be able to accept responsibility. They are tenacious and patient as they follow each case from investigation to its conclusion. They also must be able to communicate well with others in order to reach a clear analysis of a situation and be able to report this information to a superior or coworker.
