About The Position
We exist to make food the world loves. But we do more than that. Our company is a place that prioritizes being a force for good, a place to expand learning, explore new perspectives and reimagine new possibilities, every day. We look for people who want to bring their best — bold thinkers with big hearts who challenge one another and grow together. Because becoming the undisputed leader in food means surrounding ourselves with people who are hungry for what’s next. At our Hannibal manufacturing site we produce Progresso soup, Old El Paso hard shells, tortillas, kits, and seasonings, as well as Nature Valley bars. We make enough soup each year to serve every person in the world one bowl. Employees enjoy strong career growth opportunities, with many leaders having advanced from within the plant, and the site’s size creates opportunities to explore different product lines and build new skills. Hannibal also offers an on-site fitness center and coach, an on-site credit union, and a culture employees value for its family-friendly events, including a company picnic and annual softball tournament.
