Procurement Tech

About the Role IGNIZA is hiring a Procurement Tech to support our fish processing operations. In this role, you’ll drive a 26’ flatbed truck out to the fishermen we buy from, ice and load their catch on site, and bring it back to our facility fresh, cold, and food-safe. You’ll be the face of IGNIZA for our fishermen, so good communication and reliability matter just as much as driving. This is a physically demanding, hands-on role for someone who is ready to show up, work hard, take ownership, and doesn’t mind getting wet or the smell of fish.
