Job Summary
Working at a 24/7 production site, there may be occasions when you will need to work during an evening or weekend to deliver training to teams (time in lieu will be offered for these occasions). At Saputo, we bring good to the table by making high-quality products, investing in our people, and supporting communities around the world.

You’ll liaise with site operational teams to ensure departmental training plans, SOPs, training materials, presentations, workbooks, manuals, and handbooks are in place and regularly reviewed.
