Expression of Interest - Process Operator

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

About the Unit

Together with ENGIE, Yara Pilbara will also build a renewable hydrogen plant to produce renewable ammonia.
