\xe2\x80\x9cI have worked with Viterra for almost 7 years. I started as a Facility Assistant I. Throughout my time I learned various jobs, from loading/unloading cars to operating the probe, helping in the grading room, working in the annex, running the dryer and helping in receiving. Within 4 years I became a Facility Assistant II and then participated in the Facility Operations Manager trainee program and was promoted to a Facility Operations Manager shortly after. Viterra has provided me with opportunities to gain knowledge in various aspects of the agriculture and grain industry which allowed me to develop my career.\xe2\x80\x9d- Mercedes, Facility Operations Manager
