Thank you.
Northern Konstar Seed Potatoes is one of Saskatchewan's premier pedigree seed growers. We are looking to add to our roster of motivated seasonal employees.
Are you looking to join a small team of hard workers? Do you enjoy learning new skills, or sharing those you already have? Do you like working in a fast-paced environment?
If this describes you, then Northern Konstar wants you to apply. As a part of the harvest team, you will help to:
- Ensure the quality of the harvested product
- Ensure the timeliness of the harvest season
- Aid in the grading and packing of harvested
product
- Maintain the cleanliness and function of
different types of equipment
- Maintain a clean environment in the storage
shed
No farming experience is required, and all necessary skills can be taught on-the-job. Harvest is a weather dependent task - therefore, we will typically work 12-14 hour days, 7 days a week when the weather is good. This is an opportunity to work a lot of hours in a relatively short span.
We look forward to hearing from you!
