About Square Roots
Square Roots is the technology leader in indoor farming. We create meaningful jobs in modern farming, empowering a new generation of leaders in agriculture. With production farms in Brooklyn, NY, Kenosha, WI, and Grand Rapids, MI (with more to come in 2022!), Square Roots is on a mission to responsibly bring our locally grown food to people in cities around the world, all year round.
The way we operate our business and operate our farms is better for local communities. Everyone on the Square Roots team—from farmers to engineers, commercial experts to operations specialists—is supported, connected, and empowered to do their best work to help Square Roots achieve its goals as a company.
About the Role
The Apprentice Grower role is the first step in a career path in indoor farming at Square Roots. Apprentices join as full-time employees from day one, and start by learning indoor farming fundamentals before growing increasingly autonomous and moving into a permanent Associate Grower position on our farm team.
When you join, you’ll get ramped up remotely on Square Roots basics—our mission, company goals, how to use business communication tools like Slack and Google calendar, and more—- before even setting foot on the farm. Your first few weeks are spent in a ‘boot camp’ style intensive farm-learning period, where you’ll be immersed in production farming basics through a combination of virtual learning and hands-on training and mentorship. You will then work under close supervision by the farm management team, and then gradually more independently. You’ll be assessed periodically to get the feedback and support you need to help you succeed. Once you’ve successfully mastered indoor growing fundamentals, you’ll be eligible to move into an Associate Grower position.
Competitive hourly pay with eligibility for overtime and holiday pay. Eligible for growth and and upward mobility in your first year. As a full-time employee, you will also be eligible for 100% covered medical, dental, and vision benefits and equity in Square Roots.

COVID-19 Vaccination Policy:
New employees are required to be fully vaccinated prior to their start date. The definition of fully vaccinated includes a booster for those that are eligible.
You are considered fully vaccinated if:
Proof of vaccination is required during the hiring process, and employees will be required to get booster shots as they become eligible to maintain their fully-vaccinated status.
As federal guidance on booster shots evolves, the definition of ‘fully vaccinated’ may change.
In accordance with EEOC guidance, if you are not vaccinated or do not intend to be due to medical reasons or deeply held religious beliefs, you may make an accommodation request and Square Roots will make a reasonable effort to accommodate you, subject to the requirements of the role you are applying for.
Failure to be fully vaccinated by start date without a documented accommodation will result in offer rescindment or termination.
These are some of our top picks for great climate jobs on Work in Green.
