A commercial greenhouse grower in Leamington, Ontario, Canada is looking for greenhouse workers to tend and harvest crops under glass. This is a full-time role with day shifts and some weekend cover during peak growing periods. You will work indoors in a warm, climate-controlled environment growing crops such as tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers, so this job suits steady, careful people who enjoy hands-on plant work and a sheltered setting through every season, including the cold Canadian winter.

The grower pays the current Canadian market rate of about CAD 18 to CAD 26 per hour, set by experience, with overtime during busy harvest periods. On-site or nearby accommodation is sometimes available. Workers who learn pruning, training, and crop-care tasks well earn toward the higher end, and work-permit or LMIA support may be available for eligible overseas applicants seeking sponsored greenhouse work.
Company Overview
The employer runs a modern greenhouse operation in Leamington, known as the greenhouse capital of Canada. It uses climate control, hydroponics, and careful crop management to grow fresh produce year-round, even through winter. Team leaders train new workers on planting, pruning, picking, and packing, so beginners pick up the skills quickly even without horticulture experience. The greenhouse is warm and sheltered, and the daily tasks follow a clear, steady routine. New starters work alongside experienced growers during their first weeks, and the business rewards careful, reliable workers with steady hours, the chance to move into crop-care or team-leader roles, and work-permit support for the right overseas candidates. Because the greenhouse runs year-round, the work is steady through every season rather than stop-start, and the climate control keeps conditions comfortable even in deep winter. Tasks are clearly explained, tools and supplies are always on hand, and supervisors are easy to reach, so you can settle into a calm, productive rhythm from your first week.
