Role Description

We’re looking for a detail-oriented, data-driven professional to join our Western Canada team as a Nutrition Formulator.

• Strong attention to detail with a focus on data accuracy and validation
• Proven ability to manage and maintain data across systems
• Highly organized, with the ability to manage multiple priorities
• Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate across teams

Requirements

• Maintain, update, and validate feed formulations within formulation software (e.g., Bestmix, NDS)
• Ensure all inputs, specifications, and ingredient data are accurate and up to date
• Act as a final quality checkpoint before formulas are released to production
• Input and manage lab assay results to reflect accurate ingredient specifications
• Support internal teams by responding to formulation-related questions and requests
