About Rainbow Greenhouses

We grow plants, people, and partnerships. We’re always on the lookout for curious problem-solvers who love rolling up their sleeves and figuring things out.

Rainbow Greenhouses is one of Western Canada’s largest growers of greenhouse floriculture, supplying major retailers across Western Canada. We grow year-round, powered by hands-on teams who take ownership, move fast, and bring energy to everything they do. If you are growth-oriented, curious, and energized by a busy, living environment, you will fit right in here.

About the Opportunity

We are hiring a Grower for our Iron Springs facility, reporting to the Head Grower. You will own a major growing area and take full responsibility for its crops, from planting through to shipping readiness. We are open to Senior Assistant Growers ready to take their own area and move into a Grower role, Section Growers looking for a larger area, a broader crop mix, or a site that will invest in their development, and experienced Head Growers who want a senior growing role with a major area of their own, without carrying a full site.

What You’ll Do

• Own the health, quality, and timing of the crops in your assigned area, from planting through to shipping readiness.
• Manage irrigation and nutrition, including EC and pH, and operate climate controls to suit the crop.
• Scout your area, run the IPM program including biological controls, and apply crop protection products safely and legally.
• Plan crop tasks and labour so crops are ready for their ship dates, and flag risk early enough to act on.
• Supervise, train, and coach the team working in your area.

What You Bring

• Hands-on greenhouse growing experience with ornamental or floriculture crops.
• Working knowledge of irrigation and nutrition, and practical IPM experience.
• Alberta Pesticide Applicator Certificate, or the eligibility and willingness to obtain one within six months.
• Availability for extended hours and weekend work through the spring peak.
• Legally entitled to work in Canada.

Assets: post-secondary horticulture or a related field, Argus climate controls, and experience developing other growers. Equivalent hands-on growing experience counts.

• Bonus and incentive programs based on safety, reliability, and performance 

• Flexible benefits for full-time staff — choose the coverage that works for you

Note: Incentive programs, benefits, and perks have eligibility requirements.
