Site Manager

THE COMPANY

At Goterra, we believe climate change is the crisis of our time. We exist to help solve it. We're re-imagining a future where nature and automation work in tandem to solve complex problems like reducing food waste and securing our food supply chain.

We are the change we want to see in the world. We strive and push as hard as we can for our economy and environment to reap the benefits of our dedicated research, relentless testing and state-of-the-art automated robotic infrastructure.

We process food waste using insects and turn this into to by products, animal protein and high grade fertilizer. And we do this, onsite, in modular, mobile insect farms.

We're fast moving, agile and collaborative and we work relentlessly to make the world better, Billions of Tonnes Better.
