Warehouse Produce Team Member

Spud is growing again! We're looking for a part-time Produce Team Member to join our team in Edmonton, AB (7039 68th Avenue). The schedule for this position is Monday to Thursday, 12:00 pm to 4:30 pm.

As the produce expert, a produce prepper’s quality standards are exceptional! Produce Preppers are responsible for cleaning, weighing, trimming and portioning all of our produce, ensuring customers get the absolute best.

Due to the nature of the SPUD warehouse environment, all team members should be willing to jump in and help wherever necessary – sometimes this means helping team members with tasks not assigned to their usual positions.
