Maintenance Electrician

ABOUT GOTERRA

At Goterra, we believe climate change is the crisis of our time. We exist to help solve it. We are reimagining a future where nature and automation work in tandem to solve complex problems like reducing food waste and securing our food supply chain. At our headquarters in Hume, we design and build our modular robotic infrastructure (MIB) using insects to turn food waste into products – animal protein and high grade fertilizer. This process has helped us close the loop and create a circular economy whilst mitigating thousands of tonnes of Greenhouse gases that otherwise would have entered the atmosphere. As we continue to grow this number will turn into millions and eventually billions of tonnes. This is your chance to join and support our mission of making the world better, a billion times better!
