Frozen and canned vegetable processor across North America
Nortera processes frozen and canned vegetables across multiple North American production sites, serving retail and food service channels. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward manufacturing (55 roles) and operations (27 roles), with active projects spanning new production line installation, waste reduction, and plant safety — typical of a capital-intensive food processor scaling capacity. Tech stack leans on manufacturing systems (PLC, Ignition, MIG welding) alongside legacy enterprise tools (Access, Excel, Cognos), signaling operational-data silos common in mid-sized food manufacturing.
