General Greenhouse Laborer

High Country Growers is hiring for the General Greenhouse Laborer position in Helena, MT. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Seed, transplant, space, prune, trellis, irrigate, harvest, or pack greenhouse crops according to the production plan. • Check environmental, irrigation, sanitation, and crop conditions and communicate deviations promptly. • Clean and organize tools, benches, channels, harvest containers, and production areas according to food- or plant-safety rules. • Assist with seeding, transplanting, spacing, watering, moving, labeling, grooming, and organizing greenhouse crops according to the day's production plan and each crop's handling needs. • Monitor visible moisture, plant health, pest, temperature, irrigation, and sanitation conditions and report irregularities before they compromise a bench or crop group. • Prepare plant material for wholesale orders, keep carts, trays, benches, aisles, tools, and work areas orderly, and help load or stage inventory without damaging plants or mixing labels. How the work fits together Controlled-environment work is still driven by living crops. Employees begin with irrigation, climate, and crop-health checks, then complete scheduled propagation, cultural care, harvest, packing, and sanitation. Accurate observations and records help the small team respond before a minor equipment or crop issue becomes a production loss. At High Country Growers, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Assist with seeding, transplanting, spacing, watering, moving, labeling, grooming, and organizing greenhouse crops according to the day's production plan and each crop's handling needs. Monitor visible moisture, plant health, pest, temperature, irrigation, and sanitation conditions and report irregularities before they compromise a bench or crop group. Prepare plant material for wholesale orders, keep carts, trays, benches, aisles, tools, and work areas orderly, and help load or stage inventory without damaging plants or mixing labels. What the employer is looking for • Interest in hands-on greenhouse production, reliability during time-sensitive watering and shipping work, and ability to stand, bend, reach, and move plants or materials through a warm and humid growing environment. • Careful attention to crop labels and instructions, respectful teamwork, willingness to learn safe equipment and chemical-handling boundaries, and availability that matches the full-time, part-time, or seasonal arrangement discussed at hire. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods.

A plant discount is advertised.
