AddressSA Mushrooms are growing our picking team. If you are keen to learn, are steady-handed with a delicate touch, and have your own transport then this could be the job for you!
We grow our mushrooms indoors in climate-controlled growing rooms, allowing us to pick mushrooms 365 days a year. This means our employees have secure and reliable work all year round as we don’t have picking ‘seasons’ like many other produce farms.
About your role
Pickers are an integral part of SA Mushrooms. If you join the team, your day-to-day role will include picking and packing mushrooms indoors in our modern climate-controlled facility. When you first start, you will receive 5 weeks of intensive training with our dedicated Mushroom Picking Trainers, giving you every opportunity to succeed in your role.
To be successful, you need to have at least intermediate English skills, be available to work during the day (hours between 7am-5pm) on a 7-day rotating roster and you must have your own reliable transport. All pickers are based at our farm in Waterloo Corner in the Northern suburbs of Adelaide.
Please note that applicants must currently live and have work rights in Australia without restrictions on work hours.

- Earn a competitive salary
- Receive comprehensive and practical on-the-job training
