Australia is a leading global producer of almonds, with vast orchards situated along the Murray River in South Australia, as well as in rural Victoria and New South Wales.
The season is highly intensive and typically runs from February through July, involving a combination of on-farm harvesting, stockpad work and factory processing.
At Agri Labour Australia, we’re proud to lead the industry in providing world-class levels of candidate care, from recruitment to onboarding and beyond.
As agriculture experts with an extensive network of clients, we’re able to provide successful candidates with opportunities for more work after a placement ends.
Our candidates are all part of #myagrifamily – a fun and connected group of people from around the globe who work in the great Australian ag industry.
You’ll have direct access to your recruiter throughout your placement for questions, support, or help lining up your next role when the season wraps. We’re here to make sure it works out.
Since 2010 we’ve placed many candidates in jobs throughout the almond industry, and are always looking for people to fill the following roles.
Successful applicants for this dusty work will be hard workers who are free from allergies and asthma, and physically capable of performing long hours at the almond operations.
If you’ve got a forklift licence, heavy rigid truck licence, or front-end loader ticket, you’ll be well placed for a range of roles across the season. Most importantly, we’re looking for people who look out for themselves and their teammates on the job. All successful applicants will need to pass a drug and alcohol test before starting and randomly throughout the season.
The almond harvest runs across a long season and covers a range of roles from on-farm harvesting and stockpad work through to factory processing. Whatever role you’re in, you’ll need to be physically fit, free from asthma and dust allergies, and comfortable working extended hours. Factory processing roles often run on rotating day and night rosters, so flexibility with shift work is helpful. Things can change quickly on the harvest, so being adaptable and easy to work with makes a real difference.
At Agri Labour Australia, safety and compliance are absolutely central to everything we do. That’s why we ensure you receive the training and onboarding you need to work in a way that’s compliant and have a safe, happy and healthy placement in Australian agriculture.
