Careers
Nor-Am was founded around our family’s kitchen table. Ensuring that our employees are able to take care of their families and that they feel like a part of ours, will always be at the center of what we do.
A Family Focused Employer
In our opinion; family trusts each other, they do the right thing even when it’s hard, they assume good intentions, they change plans and priorities when needed for the good of the group, and occasionally, they even cut each other a little slack.
That’s how we work. We know it’s not typical in the bottom line driven world that we live in, but it works for us. If you’re ready to experience the difference of working for a family focused company, you’ve come to the right place.
Benefits
Treating our employees like family isn’t just words. It starts with making sure that they can take care of themselves and their families when the going gets rough.
That’s why we offer a comprehensive benefit package to all of our full time employees.
Health - Affordable PPO or HDHP Medical, Dental and Vision coverage.
Disability - We know you want to be at work, but if you're sick or hurt and can't be, we want to make sure you can keep the lights on. Our Short and Long term Disability plans have you covered.
Life - All employees are enrolled in a free Life Insurance policy after 90 days. Your family will be covered in the event of the unthinkable. Additional insurance can also be purchased at our group rate.
Cafeteria Plan - Is something missing? We offer voluntary supplemental policies to cover Hospital, Cancer, Accident and Critical Care. We also offer both Legal Shield and ID Shield.
Employee Assistance Program - Our EAP fills in the gaps with over 100 additional benefits available at no cost for you and your household. Everything from Behavioral Health to Financial Wellness is included.
Retirement - We're pretty great, but no one wants to work for us forever. You're eligible to contribute to your 401k at the first enrollment period after you've worked 60 days, you'll get a sweet company match when you've been here a year.
Opportunities to Grow
Nor-Am prides ourselves on promoting from within. In order to make that happen, we know we have to provide opportunities for everyone in our company to better themselves. Some of our current programs include:
Global Cold Chain Alliance.
We are active participants in the Global Cold Chain Alliance. This allows us to send Supervisors and Managers to their annual Cold Chain Institute. This is a three-year program of industry-specific and leadership training.
Emerging Leaders
Our internal development program allows front-line employees to participate in a year-long leadership program.
Any employee can apply, and with the support of their manager, this program consistently produces our future Supervisors and Operations Managers.
Refrigeration Training
It’s not surprising that Commercial Refrigeration and Certified Ammonia Operators are hard to find. That’s why we like to train our own. Mechanically inclined employees who work with our maintenance team are regularly sent to specialty trade schools to receive their Operator 1, Operator 2, Ammonia Technician, and PSM Certifications. We typically certify 5-7 employees a year in this highly skilled and well-compensated field.
Tuition Reimbursement
All of our full time employees are eligible for a tuition reimbursement towards the cost of school and books.
Equal Opportunity
Remember at the top of this page when we talked about doing the right thing? That includes not discriminating against people based on race, gender, religion, disability, sexual orientation, age, color, or national origin. In our book, this should go without saying, it’s following the golden rule. Treat others the way you want to be treated. If you don’t think you can get on board with that, you’re probably in the wrong place.
