Job Description
Are you passionate about contributing to the vibrant agricultural landscape of British Columbia? Career.zycto is seeking dedicated and hardworking Crop Planting Laborers to join our esteemed agricultural partners in the scenic Promontory area of Chilliwack. This is an incredible opportunity to work hands-on with the land, directly contributing to the cultivation of essential crops that feed our communities. Imagine starting your day with the fresh air, knowing your efforts directly impact the food on tables across the region.
As a Crop Planting Laborer, you will be an integral part of our field teams, performing a variety of tasks crucial to the successful growth and yield of our crops. Your daily responsibilities will range from meticulously preparing seedbeds, ensuring optimal conditions for growth, to precisely planting seedlings or seeds by hand or with the aid of small tools. Throughout the growing season, you’ll be involved in ensuring young plants receive adequate care through timely watering, diligent weeding to remove competing vegetation, and basic fertilization applications to nourish the soil. This physically demanding yet rewarding role requires individuals who are not afraid of manual labor, who thrive in varying outdoor weather conditions, and who understand the critical importance of meticulous attention to detail in every single task. You will spend your days immersed in the natural beauty of the Fraser Valley, working alongside a supportive team dedicated to sustainable and efficient farming practices.
We are looking for individuals who possess a strong work ethic, exceptional reliability, and a genuine interest in the agricultural sector. While previous experience in farm labor or gardening is a definite asset, it is not strictly required; we value eagerness to learn and a steadfast commitment to quality outcomes. Safety is paramount in all our operations; you will be thoroughly trained and expected to adhere strictly to all health and safety guidelines, ensuring a secure working environment for yourself and your colleagues. This position offers more than just a job; it provides a profound chance to connect with the source of our food, understand the intricate cycles of nature, and be part of a team that makes a tangible, immediate difference in local food security. If you are ready to roll up your sleeves, embrace the outdoors, and contribute significantly to a vital industry, we strongly encourage you to apply and become a valued member of our agricultural family in Promontory, Chilliwack.
