Community safety is a team effort

Seeing Nutrien’s logo at major sporting events across Western Canada is a strategic part of our recruitment strategy - helping us get in front of an engaged audience and potential employees in areas where we operate.

Our strategy goes beyond connecting with athletes considering their next steps. Through our sports partnerships, we also reach families, fans, and communities—showcasing Nutrien’s diverse career opportunities across trades, agriculture, engineering, science, business, and more. These partnerships enable us to illustrate how teamwork, resilience, and leadership—qualities so vital in sports—translate into meaningful, purpose-driven careers at Nutrien. By doing so, we help build local talent pipelines and attract individuals whose skills and values align with Nutrien’s culture.

Lori Free, VP of Talent Acquisition & Culture, shares,

“Our sports partnerships give us an incredible opportunity to reach their passionate fans, which include our farmer customers and talented people that may be a great fit for key roles we’re hiring in trades, agriculture, engineering, manufacturing, business functions and science. We’re excited to showcase that Nutrien is where your work has purpose.”

Whether you’re an athlete planning your next move or someone from the wider community, Nutrien’s partnerships are a powerful tool for growing brand awareness and attracting high-potential talent.

Hear from interns who joined us through these partnerships about why they chose Nutrien and how their futures are growing here.

“My experience at Nutrien Ag Solutions has been very valuable to me and my personal development. It has allowed me to learn more about the crop input business, all while working within a company that fosters community, teamwork, and respect. As a university athlete, these are values that we are taught from a young age. As I move into the workforce, it is very comforting that I have found a company that holds these core values very closely.” –Aaron Elser, Retail Field Intern – Agronomy Assistant

"During my first two years as a summer intern, my favorite aspect of working for Nutrien Ag Solutions has been the learning opportunities presented from an operations standpoint: fertilizer and chemical deliveries to farms, blending fertilizer and grass seed blends, loading and unloading bulk seed (both treated and untreated), as well as learning how to do everything with a safety-first mindset. Also, with the agronomy aspect: soil sampling, crop staging, and weed identification, as well as learning from our CPAs, Declan and Abby. I'm excited to continue my learning with Nutrien Ag Solutions in a safe and exciting way, and to continue developing relationships with local farmers and great co-workers." – Sam Callahan, Retail Field Intern – Agronomy Assistant

These collaborations continue to expand our reach and strengthen our diverse talent pipeline across the organization.
