“Cargill is a major company that offers opportunities to those who want to seize them.”
Progression is essential in life! My career bears testimony to this belief! I began working for Cargill 22 years ago and, if I stayed there after some hesitation, it was because I have always been afforded the opportunity to progress. I began as a logistics operator and I am now a project manager, which enables me to regularly take on different tasks . Name one of the best projects I have worked on? I would say the total overhaul of production at the Saint-Nazaire refinery in 2011. The entire production process had to be redesigned and implemented. I am currently standing in for the production manager at the site in Brest. Who know’s what I’ll be doing in the near future.
I think the progression I have made is attributable to my desire to take on new challenges and to the support of my managers who have always shown faith in me. They have never shied away from delegating to me and allowing me to develop. And this is what I in turn try to do with the teams under my supervision. In each of my jobs I have always been given a little more autonomy at different levels and I appreciate that. I have been able to make more and more decisions and that makes the job interesting.
Cargill is a major company that offers numerous opportunities to those who want them! You must never become discouraged or hesitate to take different paths! As for me, I want to continue to develop as a project manager and then... we shall see!
