Location:  Remote, Alberta  
  
Position Summary:
The Monogastric Nutritionist is responsible for developing and managing poultry feed programs for established and prospective customers across Alberta, as well as supporting selected swine feed customers throughout the Prairie provinces. This role provides technical expertise, formulates and balances rations to meet species-specific nutritional requirements, and ensures feed programs remain competitive, practical, and profitable within the marketplace.
  
Working closely with customers and the sales team, the incumbent will design customized and standard ration programs, apply scientific knowledge alongside current production technologies, and identify opportunities to implement new nutritional strategies, products, and technical advancements that support business growth and profitability.
  
This is a home-based position requiring a reliable, high-speed internet connection. Travel is required for on-farm visits and sales support, primarily within Alberta, and Saskatchewan. The incumbent must maintain strict confidentiality in all matters relating to the business affairs of Masterfeeds Inc.
  
Key Duties & Responsibilities:
  
Supporting Independent and Colony Poultry Growers Alberta.
  

• Provide technical nutritional support to broiler, layer, turkey, and breeder operations by developing and maintaining practical, competitive feed programs tailored to customer needs.
• Partner with the sales team to support customer growth through farm visits, presentations, and technical consultation with both prospective and existing customers.
• Represent Alberta within the national poultry nutrition team, contributing market insight, technical expertise, and collaborative problem-solving.

Supporting specific Independent and Colony Swine farmers in Alberta & Saskatchewan.

• Provide nutritional support across weaning, growing, and sow operations by designing and managing effective, competitive feed programs.

Maintain flexibility for travel and scheduling, hold a valid driver’s license, and operate effectively within an independent, territory-based structure.

Experience:
