This seasonal position offers $17.85 per hour with extended work hours ranging from 55 to 90 hours per week. The employer seeks hardworking individuals who can begin work on May 27, 2026, and contribute actively throughout the harvest period.
Work Location and Environment
The role requires on-site work in Richmond, BC, with no remote option available. Workers perform duties in vegetable and melon farming operations, excluding potatoes. Since harvesting takes place outdoors, employees must work in wet, damp, and hot conditions. Therefore, physical endurance and adaptability to changing weather conditions remain essential.
Primary Responsibilities

In addition, workers remove weeds to support healthy crop growth and maintain field productivity. By completing harvesting tasks efficiently and accurately, employees help ensure that crops reach market standards.
Crops and Specialization
The position focuses on harvesting cauliflowers, melons, and other vegetables grown on the farm. Workers handle produce carefully to prevent damage and maintain quality. As a result, attention to detail and proper hand-eye coordination directly impact overall farm output.
Physical Demands and Work Conditions
The role requires employees to work in a fast-paced and physically demanding environment. Workers frequently bend, crouch, kneel, and alternate between sitting, standing, and walking throughout long shifts. Moreover, repetitive tasks and extended hours require stamina, coordination, and consistent performance.
Skills and Experience
The employer does not require formal education, diploma, or certificate for this position. Although previous farm or harvesting experience is considered an asset, motivated candidates who demonstrate reliability and a strong work ethic can succeed in this role. Basic English communication skills support effective teamwork and task coordination.
Employment Eligibility
