Job description
We are looking for someone with a positive attitude and a good work ethic, who would enjoy working in a team setting. The job involves sorting apples of different sizes and placing them in bushel boxes, bags, and or cardboard trays. Once the box is full (40lbs) it gets placed onto a pallet and wrapped. We start at 6:45am and stop for lunch before 11am. After lunch we continue to pack apples the rest of the day until 3pm before cleaning up and finishing the day at 3:30pm. Extra hours are often available for those who are interested in our Fall season, but it is not a requirement. The hours are ideal for someone looking to finish work in the afternoon and have lots of time to enjoy their evenings. We like to work hard as a team and work together to complete our goals for the day. It is a fast paced environment that requires standing for extended periods of time, and lifting boxes weighing (35 - 45lbs). Training takes place twice a year to ensure that all our employees understand and follow our food safety polices outlined by Canada Gap; and we are happy to say that our team finished last season with an excellent score on our audit. We have a fantastic record over the years of no work place injuries, and take pride in creating a good environment for our team.
Our work is often seasonal which gives us less hours in the summer, but typically staff have used this time to enjoy the great outdoors after a long winter. The postal code is L3Y 4V9. There are no bus routes in the area so a vehicle or ride is required as we are located in the Holland Marsh. We look forward to growing our team at Northern Orchards and welcome you to come out for an interview.
