“I have worked with Viterra for almost 7 years.  I started as a Facility Assistant I.  Throughout my time I learned various jobs, from loading/unloading cars to operating the probe, helping in the grading room, working in the annex, running the dryer and helping in receiving.  Within 4 years I became a Facility Assistant II and then participated in the Facility Operations Manager trainee program and was promoted to a Facility Operations Manager shortly after. Viterra has provided me with opportunities to gain knowledge in various aspects of the agriculture and grain industry which allowed me to develop my career.”- Mercedes, Facility Operations Manager

“I enjoy working at Viterra because everyday I learn something new about the agriculture network.   I enjoy that my position requires both dealing with the customers and I am able to participate in handling the grain.  Viterra is a healthy workplace as it allows you to engage yourself to enforce energy while doing a task and is a positive place for you to show passion for this industry.” -Megan, Facility Assistant I
