The environment:

  • We are located just outside the city limits in Rocky View County (east) out Glenmore Trail.
  • Our shop is kept very warm and humid for successful insect rearing (over 30 degrees Celsius). The right person for this role can physically handle this heat.
  • While our insects are grown in containers, there are strays throughout the facility, so this person must not be squeamish with insects

  • Current drivers license and clean drivers abstract
  • Friendly, personable and professional demeanour and communication skills
  • Organized and detail-oriented is a must!
  • Basic computer skills
  • Must have own vehicle or transportation to the farm as there is no transit to the location
