North American chemical manufacturer serving oil, water treatment, and food industries
Chemtrade is a publicly traded chemical manufacturer operating 60+ facilities across North America and Brazil, serving oil & gas, water treatment, pulp & paper, and food & beverage customers. The hiring surge is heavily operations-focused (30 ops roles vs. 14 engineering), with active projects centered on EHS compliance, capital execution, and supply reliability—reflecting a company scaling operational capacity and safety infrastructure rather than building new product layers. Recent SAP Ariba adoption signals procurement modernization across a distributed manufacturing footprint.
Chemtrade manufactures and distributes industrial chemicals including sulphuric acid, sodium chlorate, zinc oxide, and water treatment compounds. The company operates as a publicly traded entity (TSX: CHE.UN) with over 1.6 billion in annual sales, spanning more than 60 locations across North America and Brazil. Core verticals include oil and gas, water treatment, pulp and paper, and food and beverage processing. The company grew substantially through acquisition and maintains a culture centered on operational excellence, safety (Responsible Care® certification), and employee development across its 1,000–5,000-person workforce.
