Are you motivated to work in greenhouse horticulture as a Bell pepper harvester?
We are preparing for the upcoming season and we are looking for you!
As a Bell Pepper Harvester, you are responsible for harvesting bell peppers in a modern greenhouse environment. The process is supported by advanced technology to ensure high quality and efficiency; however, the harvesting itself is done manually and requires precision and care. You will work as part of a friendly team, cooperating closely with colleagues to meet daily production targets. The work takes place in a warm and humid greenhouse, where wearing safety shoes is mandatory to prevent slipping and to ensure safe work on adjustable carts that rise as the plants grow. The job requires flexibility, as working hours and workload depend on environmental conditions and the growth phase of the peppers.
You will start with training and receive ongoing support from a Team Leader. The average workload is 40+ hours per week, with a fixed start time and variable end time. Willingness to work 5.5 days per week, including occasional Saturdays, is required.
