We are partnering with a pioneering and sustainability-driven greenhouse operator to appoint a Head Grower to lead their innovative, high-tech organic facility located in Canada.

This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced greenhouse professional to manage full-cycle organic crop production - from seed to shipping - within a technologically advanced, purpose-built greenhouse environment.

  • Optimise crop performance using Argus climate control systems and the platform.
  • Supervise maintenance, troubleshoot equipment issues, and uphold a high operational standard.
  • Ensure compliance with food safety, organic certification, and workplace safety.
  • Manage pest control via IPM strategies and ensure a clean, productive growing environment.
  • Report on production data, issues, and outcomes directly to the CEO.

What We're Looking For:

  • 5-10 years of experience in a grower management role, with at least 3 years in a high-tech greenhouse environment.
  • In-depth knowledge of plant physiology and environmental controls.
  • Proven hands-on experience with tomato and/or cucumber crops is highly desirable.
  • Familiarity with certification schemes like GlobalG.A.P. and organic regulations.
  • Strong leadership, communication (Spanish and English preferred), and conflict-resolution skills.
  • Mechanically minded with the ability to oversee greenhouse systems, equipment, and maintenance.
  • A valid or obtainable Pesticide Applicator's License (within 12 months).

What's On Offer:

  • Competitive salary package of CAD $70,000 - $110,000, plus incentives and performance bonuses.
  • Full support with Canadian work visa processing and relocation.
  • On-site housing or assistance finding accommodation in nearby communities.
  • A welcoming, community-focused environment with access to Canadian health and education systems.
