Potatoes. French Fries. Taters. You love them; we make them. In fact, we produce 1/3 of the world’s frozen potato products, and if you’ve eaten fries this week, chances are, they were ours.

At McCain Foods, we understand the important role food plays in bringing families, communities, and businesses together. Guided by our mission to deliver great-tasting food that uplifts lives, we strive to create sustainable growth, working collaboratively with our partners to make a positive impact today and for generations to come.

 

As a privately owned family company with over 60 years of experience, a presence in over 160 countries, and a global team of 22,000 people, our values and culture are at the heart of everything we do.

 

We believe students are our future. We aim to hire the best and brightest interns, with the goal of offering full-time positions after graduation. Our ideal candidate is passionate, collaborative, eager to learn, and ready to take initiative.

 

Position Summary

We are looking for a Grant Intern to join our team in Florenceville, NB and contribute to the success of the Improving Soil Health in Potato Supply Chains RCPP (Regional Conservation Partnership Program) project. This $10.4 million, 5-year project aims to support potato growers in adopting regenerative agriculture practices that improve soil health. The intern will play a vital role in helping secure funding programs and streamlining processes for supporting growers in sustainability initiatives.

 

You will gain hands-on experience in grant project management, grower relations, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability practices, working closely with the Grant Lead and Agriculture & Sustainability teams. The position offers a unique opportunity to develop your skills in project management, communication, and sustainability while making a direct impact on agriculture's future.

As the Grant Intern, your tasks will include:

  1. Grant Program and Funding Support
    • Assist in building a pipeline of local, state, and federal grant opportunities to support sustainable practices for potato growers.
    • Collaborate with growers, government agencies, and other stakeholders to streamline the grant application process.
    • Monitor progress and assist in outcome reporting to track the success of funded projects.
  2. Project Management and Stakeholder Engagement
    • Support the planning, execution, and evaluation of projects related to regenerative agriculture practices.
    • Engage directly with growers to understand their challenges and needs related to sustainability funding.
    • Work with the Agriculture & Sustainability team to manage project timelines, budgets, and compliance.
  3. Data Collection and Reporting
    • Assist in the collection and analysis of sustainability metrics such as soil health, greenhouse gas emissions, and water usage.
    • Prepare regular reports on project outcomes, performance metrics, and impact for internal stakeholders and grant organizations.
    • Contribute to the evaluation of regenerative agriculture practices and their adoption.
  4. Advocacy and Communication
    • Advocate for growers and help communicate the benefits of sustainability programs, including attending meetings with governmental agencies.
    • Participate in conferences, seminars, and workshops to promote McCain’s approach to regenerative agriculture and its outcomes.

 

What You Will Learn

  • Sustainability and Agriculture: Develop a deep understanding of the intersection of agriculture and sustainability through hands-on experience with regenerative agriculture practices and the financial mechanisms supporting them.
  • Project Management: Hone your project management skills by overseeing the progress of various sustainability programs and coordinating with different stakeholders.
  • Data Analytics: Learn how to analyze agricultural data, including sustainability metrics, using data analysis tools.
  • Communication: Improve your communication skills by working closely with growers, government agencies, and internal teams, presenting findings, and advocating for funding support.
  • Grant Writing and Management: Gain valuable insights into the process of securing and managing grants from various funding organizations.

 

What You Need to Be Successful

  • Education: Enrolled in a degree program in Sustainability, Environmental Science, Agronomy, Ag Economics, Business Management, or a related field.
  • Skills:
    • Strong analytical skills with the ability to recognize data trends and patterns.
    • Excellent communication skills for collaborating with diverse stakeholders.
    • Self-reliant and resourceful, with a proactive approach to problem-solving.
    • Ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
    • Proficiency in MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and experience with data analysis tools.
  • Other Requirements:
    • A valid driver’s license, comfortable driving a full-size pickup truck.
    • Ability to work outdoors in various weather conditions.

 

What You Can Expect From Us

  • A supportive team that will encourage you to be and do your best.
  • A safe and flexible working environment that promotes work/life balance.
  • The opportunity to be part of meaningful projects with a lasting impact.
