Job description

At 4AG Robotics, we’re wired for solving tough problems - and mushroom harvesting with robots is about as tough as it gets. We solve the critical labour shortage for farms by building robots that pick, trim and pack mushrooms.

We are a team of builders that like to move fast and embrace the uncertain process of innovation - because every breakthrough comes with a few mistakes along the way. Our robots are already working on six of the world’s largest mushroom farms - and this is just the beginning.

If you love tech, thrive on innovation, and have a passion for building and bringing it to life in the real world in a commercial space, you’ll find your spot here. Join us and help reshape the future of farming with grit, brains, and a team that actually gets things done.

The Opportunity

At 4AG Robotics, we’re revolutionizing mushroom farming with robotics, computer vision, and AI. Our robots help growers overcome the challenges of repetitive, labour-intensive harvesting while boosting sustainability in food production. As an Assembly Plant Operator , you’ll be at the heart of our manufacturing team, helping to build the technology that is reshaping agriculture.

What You’ll Do

• Assemble with precision: Follow SOPs and instructions to put together robotic components using hand tools, power tools, and equipment.
• Ensure quality: Inspect and test finished products, identifying and addressing defects to maintain top-tier standards.
• Prioritize safety: Follow safety protocols, use PPE correctly, and practice safe ergonomics.
• Drive efficiency: Meet daily production goals, seek ways to streamline processes, and contribute to continuous improvement.
• Collaborate as a team player: Communicate effectively, support colleagues, and foster a cooperative, solution-oriented environment.
• Maintain equipment: Perform basic upkeep and promptly report malfunctions to ensure smooth operations.
• Keep accurate records: Document production, quality checks, and inventory clearly and consistently.

What Success Looks Like

• Products are assembled accurately, efficiently, and on time.
• Quality standards are consistently met or exceeded.
• Safety practices are second nature.
• You’re known as a reliable teammate who contributes positively to a supportive, team-first culture.
• Processes improve because of your feedback, initiative, and hands-on involvement.

What You Bring

• A high school diploma (or equivalent).
• Experience in manufacturing or assembly is an asset, but your willingness to learn is most important.
• Ability to read and follow instructions, diagrams, and production processes.
• Strong attention to detail, manual dexterity, and comfort with repetitive tasks.
• Basic math skills and confidence working in a fast-paced environment.
• Communication and teamwork skills, with a “pitch in where needed” attitude.
• Physical ability to stand for long periods, lift up to 30 lbs, and work with small parts and tools.

Why This Role Matters

The robots we build are changing the way food is grown, harvested, and delivered. Every bolt you tighten and every product you quality-check directly impacts growers, consumers, and the global food supply chain. By joining 4AG Robotics, you’re not just assembling machines—you’re helping to grow the future of sustainable agriculture.

• Collaborate, innovate, have fun - a workplace where your ideas matter, your contributions make an impact, and creativity drives everything we do.
• Freedom to excel - a high-trust environment where results matter and you get flexibility in how you achieve them.
• Grow with us - ongoing professional development to support your career, sharpen your skills, and reach your goals.
• Comprehensive health & wellness - extended health, dental, vision, plus an annual healthcare spending account to keep you feeling your best.

We Believe

If you’re the type who likes to take chances, move at speed, and see your ideas come to life, you’ll feel right at home here. At 4AG, we’re not big on rules for the sake of rules - we’d rather trust you to make bold calls, keep it real with your team, and turn imagination into something game-changing. This isn’t a place to play it safe; it’s a place to build, break, fix, and build again - while having a great time doing it.

The pay range for this role is:
