About SkyAcres
SkyAcres builds Drop-In indoor farms for the cold storage rooms, packhouses, and barns farmers already own. We combine growing hardware, software, and crop knowledge to help farmers grow food throughout the year and make better use of their existing buildings. No plumbing, pumps, or HVAC retrofit required.
From our Surrey R&D office, we work with farmers to turn that technology into reliable production and connect their produce with customers.
About the role
You will help get fresh produce into customers’ hands, build relationships with local stores and restaurants, and keep daily operations moving.
Curiosity and a love of learning matter most to us. You do not need to arrive knowing everything. We want someone who asks questions, follows through, and enjoys learning by doing.
Your week will be split roughly equally between driving and deliveries, office and operational support, and sales and marketing. You will work directly with the CEO and CTO. A company vehicle is provided for work travel.
What you will do
- Deliver produce orders and samples to stores and restaurants.
- Help with local pickups and errands using a company vehicle. Travel is mainly to Delta and Abbotsford, with occasional trips to Langley and downtown Vancouver.
- Introduce our produce to store owners and restaurant buyers through cold calls and in-person visits.
- Follow up on samples and help turn those conversations into orders and lasting customer relationships.
- Support admin, customer records, and follow-ups.
- Use our checklists and procedures to keep daily operations organized.
- Help keep the office and shared work areas clean and organized.
- Assist with hands-on plant work when needed.
What we are looking for
- Curiosity and a love of learning.
- Reliability and follow-through.
- Comfort talking with people and following up by phone or in person.
- A valid driver’s licence and confidence driving between customer locations.
- Good organization and attention to detail.
- Willingness to learn new digital tools, checklists, and procedures.
- Willingness to help with practical tasks and plant work.
Previous sales or customer service experience is preferred. Training is available.
Nice to have
Social media knowledge, an interest in creating content, and willingness to appear on camera are welcome. These are optional and are not requirements for the role.
Success in your first three months
- Bring on at least 20 new grocery stores or restaurants as produce customers.
- Become comfortable using our tools, checklists, and procedures.
- Complete deliveries and office tasks reliably.
- Help develop a practical plan to build customer demand as production expands.
Schedule and support
We offer flexible scheduling during the week, though most of the team works around 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday to Friday. Hours will be coordinated with the team and customer delivery needs.
- The role combines work at our Surrey office with local travel. You will receive training and work directly with the CEO and CTO.
