About Working at Heeman’s:
No two days are the same at Heeman’s, and that keeps things interesting and engaging. As a seasonal farm business that operates year-round, we experience both high-demand periods and slower seasons. As a Driver, you’ll spend most of your time on the road, navigating a variety of routes—from local deliveries to longer trips across Ontario—while representing Heeman’s in the community.
This role requires comfort working independently, managing time effectively, and adapting to changing schedules, traffic conditions, and weather. You’ll play an important part in ensuring our products arrive safely and on time, whether delivering fresh berries to customers or coordinating with vendors and partners. The role may also involve loading and unloading items, which can weigh up to 50 lbs. Heeman’s is proudly a family-owned, agriculture-based business, and our employees are classified as agriculture employees under the ESA.
