2 days ago

Riverland, Australia Costa Full time

Costa’s Citrus operations in Riverland, South Australia, are seeking enthusiastic and reliable individuals to join our team as **Casual Harvest Quality Control Officers** for our citrus harvest.

We have opportunities available on multiple sites in the heart of South Australia’s Riverland, in some of the region’s most iconic horticultural towns — including Loxton, Renmark, Lyrup and Murtho.

This is a hands-on role ideal for those who enjoy working outdoors in a fast-paced environment, and have a keen eye for detail, and are keen to contribute to one of Australia’s largest citrus operations.

**About the Role**

As a Quality Control Officer, you’ll be responsible for:

- Conducting quality and safety checks on our harvest picking crews
- Recording assessments electronically using the Packr App
- Reporting any issues to supervisors to ensure high harvest standards
- Working closely with the Harvest Supervisor to uphold food safety and quality expectations

You’ll be outdoors most of the day and will typically assess multiple crews (20-30 pickers), ensuring fruit is picked to spec and safety protocols are followed. Training is provided, and support is available from our Harvest Supervisors and Farm Managers.

**What’s on Offer**:

- Casual role with immediate start
- Paid training provided
- PPE & Uniform provided
- Opportunities to move into general farm hand roles for high-performing team members
- Work across various locations and conditions — no two days the same

**What We’re Looking For**:

- Good attention to detail and observation skills
- Clear communication and ability to follow procedures
- Ability to work in various outdoor conditions and variable hours
- Punctual, reliable, and able to commit to consistent work during the harvest period
- Previous citrus harvest or other horticultural experience is a bonus — but not essential

**Applicants must** have a**Driver’s licence and their**own transport to and from the farm.**

**Why Costa**:
At Costa, we’re not just growing produce—we’re growing futures.

As Australia’s leading grower, packer, and marketer of fresh produce, we take pride in delivering premium quality citrus, avocados, berries, mushrooms, and tomatoes to customers across Australia and beyond. Our success is built on innovation, sustainability, and the dedication of our people.

Costa’s Riverland citrus operations are at the heart of one of Australia’s most renowned citrus-growing regions. With 2,500 hectares of citrus orchards across six farms, two state-of-the-art packing sheds, and up to 1,000 seasonal staff, we grow, pack, market, and export directly from the Renmark region—ensuring the freshest produce reaches customers worldwide.

From competitive pay and wellbeing programs to a culture of learning and growth, we ensure our people are supported every step of the way.
