Supply Chain Co-op Student (Winter 2027)

About Us

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. 

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 gets things done. 

The Opportunity
