Greenhouse Technician

Clickstop • Urbana, IA • 2m ago

At Pepper Joe’s, we aren’t working in your typical greenhouse!

Are you an entrepreneurial self-starter who loves building systems, writing protocols, and owning outcomes? If so, you’ll fit right in with the Pepper Joe’s brand and our highly independent team! We grow super-hot pepper plants for shipment and for seed sales in a hydroponic, little to no-soil environment in Urbana, Iowa. As a Greenhouse Technician, you’ll contribute to the team by helping scale our high-energy operation, fueling the Pepper Joe’s brand—home to some of the hottest pepper seeds, plants, and pods on the market.

What you’ll be doing:

Own production operations end-to-end: propagation, vegetative growth, pollination support, harvest, de-seeding, drying, and seed conditioning.
Run a clean, bio-secure house: sanitation plans, tool/space hygiene, and PPE compliance (capsaicin exposure is real—gloves, eye protection, masks/respirators as needed).
Dial in hydroponics: mix nutrients, manage reservoirs and EC/pH, monitor irrigation cycles, and keep systems (pumps, lines, sensors) humming.
Build and document SOPs: create clear protocols for fertilization schedules, plant testing, pruning, harvest, seed extraction, drying, and storage.
Track the data: log germination rates, seed purity/viability, yields, and environmental metrics; use data to drive continuous improvement.
Coordinate cross-team work: partner on shipping/order timing, inventory accuracy, and equipment maintenance schedules.
Lead seasonal pushes: organize crews for harvesting and de-seeding; train teammates on safety and quality standards.

You’ll thrive here if you:

Bring a builder’s mindset: you see gaps, design a process, and document it.
Are hands-on and technical: comfortable troubleshooting pumps, plumbing, sensors, timers, and environmental controls.
Communicate clearly and keep work organized—lists, checklists, and clean logs are your norm.
Are math-confident (mixing nutrients, dilutions, basic stats/percentages) and tool-savvy (Excel/Sheets, Outlook/Email).
Don’t mind heat/humidity, strong peppers, and fast pace; you suit up and get it done.
Have experience in hydroponic production or seed production, preferred but not required.
Have knowledge of Plant Science, Horticulture, or related field, highly preferred but not required.

Work environment & physical requirements:

Standing/walking most of the shift; lifting up to ~50 lbs; repetitive tasks during peak harvest/de-seeding.
Greenhouse heat/humidity; capsaicin handling with required PPE.
Some seasonal/weekend work during peak cycles.

What Clickstop provides:

The opportunity to pursue your best self (as an employee, parent, partner, citizen, etc.) We believe coming to work shouldn’t be transactional, but instead should be a purpose-driven experience.
Recognition for personal, team, and company accomplishments, because Clickstop’s success is a reflection of your engagement and excellence.
Professional and personal development opportunities.
We offer great benefits, a competitive compensation package, and a generous amount of time off. But what truly sets us apart is how we work and the environment we work in!
Full-Time Benefits, including:
- Health Insurance ($0 Premium Option)
- Dental & Vision Insurance
- 401K Match
- PTO, Paid Holidays, and Volunteer Time Off
- Life and Disability Insurance
- ESOP – After one full year of service and minimum hour requirement is met

*Must be authorized to work in the United States.
Employment is contingent upon the completion of a satisfactory background check.
Clickstop is an Equal Opportunity Employer.
