Job title: Process Engineer (Food Manufacturing)
We're cooking up something exciting in Calgary and need a Process Engineer to help us get it just right.

You'll be the link between our R&D chefs, the crew on the floor, and the maintenance team—turning bold ideas into products people actually want to eat. If you love chasing down production puzzles, digging into the data, and seeing your work land on shelves across the country, pull up a chair.
