Description
At Soli Organic, we want to change the way people access organic, sustainable, and affordable food by revolutionizing what nature does best: growing healthy, flavorful plants. We take what we know about the biology of growing the best produce, and then use technology to optimize natures processes. We do all of this in our proprietary, USDA-certified organic, soil-based, indoor system. For us, everything begins with soil; it is the foundational building blocks that enable us to provide an ecosystem in which plants can thrive.
Over the past 30 years, we've seen this mission spread beyond our wildest dreams. Today, we are an integrated food solutions group with a nation-wide presence, and an ambitious drive to continue to have a positive impact for consumers. So how did we reach this far? We are constantly learning from nature, and we are taking those lessons in innovative ways and creative solutions that will serve the community of consumers who are looking for flavorful, healthy, and sustainable produce options.
Soli Organic is a leading CEA (Controlled Environment Agriculture) company in the US. As part of the planned national expansion into CEA facilities, Soli Organic recently completed the construction and commissioning of a growing operation in Anderson, SC.

Plan, manage, track, and justify facility or equipment funds as part of program planning, CapEx review, and program oversight
Participate in organization and operations, being an active cross functional support member for our growing and operations team.

Identify creative ways to overcome obstacles
