Diversified food and agriculture company with operations across farming, processing, and fertilizer production
Simplot operates a vertically integrated food and agriculture business spanning farming, food processing, phosphate mining, and fertilizer manufacturing across seven countries. The tech stack reveals heavy reliance on Rockwell Automation (DCS, SCADA, PLC, HMI) and manufacturing execution systems (DeltaV, FactoryTalk) for plant operations, paired with SAP for supply chain and finance—a signature industrial footprint. Active migration to SAP S/4HANA and heavy hiring in operations and manufacturing (289 roles of 425 total) reflect an organization scaling production while managing seasonal demand volatility and reducing downtime across dispersed facilities.
Notable leadership hires: Electrical Technical Lead, Market Development Lead, SAP Functional Lead
