Farming Operations - Laval Greenhouse
Full-time
Presence: On site
Contract position : No
Description:
At Lufa Farms, we’re on a mission to create a better food system and a huge part of this is achieved by growing food where people live, and growing it responsibly. This led us to build the world’s first commercial rooftop greenhouse in 2011, followed by the world’s largest less than a decade later. With four urban farms (and counting!) producing year-round, we need exceptional leaders to oversee our day-to-day operations.
The Production Manager reports to the Operations Manager and supervises a team of roughly 30 team members, working closely with on-site peers in different departments to ensure smooth operations. Their main goal is to motivate their team to achieve optimal efficiency - the success of their team will directly impact the availability and quality of our rooftop veggies and, in turn, the satisfaction of our customers.
If you’re an excellent leader who wants to change the way cities eat, we encourage you to apply (even if you’ve never worked in a greenhouse - we can teach you that part).

•
Schedule and oversee all weekly greenhouse operations (including crop work and harvest);

•

•
Comfortable using Google Suite or other comparable software applications;
•
Intensely curious and constantly seeking opportunities to learn new skills;
•
Strongly independent and strives to be autonomous;
•
Inspire the team, embrace team values, foster teamwork, and always be willing to help others.
Assets:
•

•
