We’re Hop, a specialty composter based out of Calgary, Alberta.

Hop is seeking a part-time employee to start immediately as Facility Associate in our cleantech compost facility. Hours will be 7am – 10am, Monday through Friday, with some flexibility.

As Facility Associate, your role will involve the daily production of Hop’s craft compost. Working with our Batchmaker, this includes tasks such as loading and offloading batches of compost, screening and packaging the product, and maintaining the facility. But being a startup, there’s much more to the role, and team members are expected to advance Hop’s process with innovations in our production.

The Facility Associate role will typically demand 3 hours per day. However, Hop team members will be available to work early mornings, nights, weekends and overtime as needed.

A strong Facility Associate will be able to provide high-end work consistently with every batch, demonstrating stamina and an eye for detail. He or she should be skilled operating machinery, exhibit passion for teamwork, be willing to clean, and be comfortable in a young company with a fast-paced environment. Being a physical craft, Facility Associates should be comfortable with heavy lifting and being on their feet for several consecutive hours.

Pay starts at $19/hour, with the opportunity to own shares in Hop through its employee stock option program. All training is provided.

We would love it if you:

Have previous experience operating Bobcats
Have previous experience with warehouse work and large machinery
Are passionate about sustainability

The Perks:

The chance to get hands-on with Canada’s cleanest compost, and grow your career as Hop accelerates
Ownership in Hop, one of Western Canada’s fastest-growing companies

We’re a devoted team and believe in craft over convenience, which means our standards are high. Think you have what it takes to be a part of Hop?
