Deputy Assistant Manager - Process Engineering

We at Yara are part of a global network, collaborating to profitably and responsibly solve some of the worlds key challenges - resource scarcity, food insecurity and environmental change.

About The Unit

For over a century, Yara has worked to feed the world and protect the planet, and our mission is to do this in a responsible and sustainable way. Yara delivers solutions for sustainable agriculture and the environment. Their fertilizers and crop nutrition programs help produce the food required for the growing world population. Yara’s industrial products and solutions reduce emissions, improve air quality and support safe and efficient operations.

Founded in Norway in 1905, Yara has a worldwide presence with production and sales and services operations across countries i.e. America, Europe, Africa and Asia, with more than 17,000 employees, sales to 150 countries and sales revenue of more than 14 billion USD. Safety is always the top-most priority.

Yara Fertilizers India Pvt Ltd is a 100% subsidiary of Yara International ASA. Yara has supplied fertilizers as well as fertilizer raw materials to the Indian market for over two decades. Yara India has continuously strengthened its footprint in Western and Southern India by providing Crop nutrition solutions with combination of Premium products and Knowledge through unique Farmer centric approach.

Yara’s philosophy is to connect with thousands of farmers at the grass root level and has a strong commitment to serving the agriculture sector in India, thereby improving the livelihood of Indian farmer. To leverage on this and to expand into the northern & eastern geographies of India, Yara acquired Tata Chemicals’ 1.2 MN MT Urea plant in UP, Northern India. With this acquisition Yara India’s scale of operation has grown significantly.
