Job description

At Nutrien, our purpose is Feeding the Future and we do so with safety, inclusion, integrity and results as our core values. Nothing is more important than sending our people home safe, every day.

Nutrien Ag Solutions is the retail division of Nutrien, the largest crop inputs company in the world. As part of our collective mission of Feeding the Future, Nutrien Ag Solutions provides full-acre solutions through our trusted crop consultants at more than 2,000 locations in North America, South America, Europe and Australia. For more than 150 years, we have been helping growers achieve the highest yields with a wide selection of products, including our proprietary brands: Loveland Products, Inc.; ProvenSeed and Dyna-GroSeed; as well as financial, custom application and precision ag services.

We harvest the best. Diverse views and experience make us strong. We look for people who have a safety-first mindset, who are collaborative team players, who deliver on their commitments, act with integrity, and who support inclusion.

Working at Nutrien Ag Solutions will provide you an opportunity to help us raise the expectation of what an agriculture company can be, and grow your career.

Reporting to the Branch Manager, this position is ideal for a person with a positive customer service attitude who has the ability and willingness to perform a variety of tasks from interacting directly with customers, to being hands-on in the warehouse.

What you will do:

• Support Inside Sales by answering questions, promoting our products, and providing exemplary customer service
• Process customer orders and payments using a computerized system
• Assist with managing inventory, ordering products, and forecasting

During the busy season, the loading and unloading of customer vehicles will be necessary.
• The successful candidate must be able to drive and safely operate a forklift. In the loading of outgoing carriers and unloading of incoming containers, there will be instances where product must be manually restacked or repalletized to ensure product is safely contained for racking storage or shipping
  • Class 3 Drivers License would be considered an asset
• The maintaining of warehouse safety standards, general administrative duties, and the ability to work as part of a team are also required.
• This role will also act as the Site Safety Coordinator
