About Select Harvests Limited

Select Harvests is one of the world’s largest almond growers and Australia’s leading vertically integrated almond food company. We grow, process and market almonds across a geographically diverse footprint spanning Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales, supplying domestic and global markets. 

For graduates, this means genuine exposure to the entire value chain — from orchard and harvest, through processing and manufacturing, to commercial decision making and customers.  

Why join Select Harvests? 

As an ASX listed agribusiness, Select Harvests combines the scale, governance and commercial rigour of a listed organisation with the hands-on, operational exposure of a complex agrifood business. 

As a graduate, you’ll be part of a business that: 

  • Operates at scale, with geographically diverse orchards across Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales 
  • Invests heavily in food manufacturing, processing capability, safety and quality 
  • Plays an important role in sustainable food production and regional communities 
  • Offers real responsibility early, not observer roles or rotations for the sake of it 
  • Is building a deliberate pipeline of future leaders across operations, processing and commercial functions 

This is a hands-on graduate program for people who want to learn by doing, understand how a complex agrifood business really works, and build a long-term career in the industry.
