You have a role to play.
At SucroCorp, our people aren't simply employees. They're part of something much larger.
Long tenure is the norm.
The average SucroCorp employee stays with the company for more than eleven years. Many arrive from the communities where our facilities operate, and a considerable number follow a parent or grandparent into the same plant.
We hire across a wide range: plant operators and laboratory technicians, agronomists and supply coordinators, process engineers, food scientists, statisticians and behavioral researchers. The work is varied. What it has in common is scale. Very few organizations allow a person to affect what several hundred million people eat, and we do not treat that lightly when we decide who to bring in.
Positions requiring internal classification clearance are indicated in the listing. Clearance is granted by the assigned division and, where a program carries joint oversight, by RRE Corporate Development.
