Kingston, Canada Jplant Full time

Position Title: Greenhouse Nursery Worker - Spring Shipping (Short-Term Contract)

Organization: Jplant

Location: Napanee, Ontario

Contract Duration: 6-week duration from April 24th, 2023 to June 2nd, 2023. Possibility for extension.

Hours: 40 hours per week

Wage: $16.00 per hour

Jplant is a propagation nursery located just north of the 401 in Napanee, Ontario. We propagate, grow, sell, and ship small plants in Canada. The types of plants we raise generally include perennials, ornamental grasses, flowering shrubs, fruit-bearing shrubs, and bamboo. We make all sales online and ship to clients thus there is no public customer relations on site.

We are currently seeking several motivated, hard-working individuals to join our team for the spring. These positions are short-term contracts for 6 weeks from April 24th to June 2nd to assist with our busy spring shipping season. Everyday there is a new series of orders to pick up and package. Teams will pick up plants needed for the day’s orders, gathering only the strongest, most suitable plants for sale. Then each order is dispatched and sent to the packaging team. Keeping each order separate and organized, the team will prepare orders by placing plants in plastic bags and building boxes. Lastly, each order is packaged by placing plants in boxes with care, so they are not damaged during shipping. All daily orders must be completed by the afternoon for delivery.

While this position is a short-term contract, there may be possibilities for full-time or part-time extension based on the individual’s performance and the needs of the company following the shipping period. Additionally, we are a growing company and always seeking hard working individuals to join our team in the future.
