Jessica M.
Barn Manager

Desiree R.
Office Manager
"HyLife is different. I have seen myself grow in the past three years more than I ever imagined."
Jhave G.
Barn Manager
"You have the chance here if you are willing. For me it has all been worth it."
Kieran H.
Manager of Agronomic Services
"It's not often you get to work with people that challenge you, motivate you, make you feel safe, and show their appreciation for the work put in."
Beverly E.
Human Resources Generalist
"Not only has HyLife provided me opportunities to grow my career as an HR professional; they also support my education and further training and development."
Eucel B.
Production Supervisor
"I have been here at HyLife since 2015, working in packaging. After I gained knowledge, I was a Leadhand for 3 years, before becoming a supervisor in 2021. Starting my new roles, it was very hard for me, because I was new in the field. But working in packaging - the decision-making, conflicts between your area and the rest of the line, support from my supervisors, helped me handle my responsibilities. I’ve learned how to handle stress. It’s a good workplace. Now, I am able to step in for my assistant manager, while still learning from them too. If we have any problem in a department, we unite and come together to fix the issue. If there is someone who needs help, everyone is willing to support each other, no matter who they are. HyLife has made a good impact, especially on my family. All I can say is, it’s great. I’m a single mother – in the Philippines, I was really working hard to build a good future and to bring my daughter here to Canada, where we can have a good life."
Jessica M.
Barn Manager
"I started as a Swine Technician, and am now a Barn Manager. Now, my next goal and step up would be a Production Manager. At HyLife, I am always thinking how far I can push myself."
Ronald S.
Production Supervisor
I was recently asked to help HyLife on recruiting in the Philippines. I never imagined that I would be in this position. I remember the time that I was applying when I was back in the Philippines. I just want to have a better opportunity for my family's future. Now, I am part of the team to give the same opportunity to our future employees.
Sarah P., P.Eng.
Industrial Engineer
“Whether it is Get ‘Er Done or Open Door Policy, you can see examples of it right from people working at the mills or barns or the ranch, but also for support staff and management. The community feeling that I see firsthand in the office extends to the messaging within the company where new people are introduced, and people are recognized for promotions with details about their hard work and dedication. I have worked with quite a few departments and everyone has always been willing to keep an open mind about opportunities and work hard towards goals, usually with a healthy dose of humour mixed in. I have been able to grow within my role because my boss, and really the whole company, are ready to offer chances to learn and try new things.”
Desiree R.
Office Manager
“Before coming to HyLife I thought all companies were the same. You get hired in one role and you are stuck in that role. HyLife is different. I have seen myself grow in the past three years more than I ever imagined.” “I have developed as a person. HyLife has taught me more about myself, my potential, and life in general. My idea of what is possible for me and my family is bigger than I ever imagined.” “My leader takes the extra time to know her people. It is the simple things in life that make all the difference. Our open-door policy, the way we listen and respect our people makes me feel supported. Now as a new leader, I try to follow the same path, to ensure my team is happy and has that life/work balance.”
Jhave G.
Barn Manager
"I always come to work with a positive attitude. I try to lift people up. That is the HyLife way. This company gave me an opportunity. I started as a Swine Technician and, in 5 years at 24 years old, I was an Assistant Manager with a team of 13 people. I always think about my HyLife journey, and as long as you are committed, you get something big out of it.
Kieran H.
Manager of Agronomic Services
“My time at HyLife has been nothing short of fantastic and I owe it all to the wonderful people I work with. It’s not often you get to work with a group of people that challenge you, motivate you, make you feel safe/secure, and show their appreciation for the work put in, but here at HyLife I have found that. I will forever be thankful to HyLife for taking a chance on me when they had no reason to, because now I have a growing career that has provided me with advancement and continued opportunity for more.“
Beverly E.
Human Resources Generalist
"Having entered my 8th year at HyLife, I can truly attest to the opportunities I have had to grow in my career. I’m currently in my third role at HyLife and I absolutely love what I do. As a Receptionist, HR Clerk and HR Generalist, these roles have given me and give me the privilege to work and connect with many people across the company every day. This is invaluable and really appreciated. As a member of Human Resources team, I have a part in strengthening strong relationships with employees at HyLife and building a positive team culture. Human Resources is all about the people. HyLife is like a family, we take care of our employees and we support one another. We are passionate about our goals, beliefs, and values which in turn develops an incredibly strong and positive team culture at HyLife.”

Great Communities
Why the places we live and work are special
Steinbach, MB
HyLife employees working in the Steinbach area are a diverse group – while many of us have family roots going back generations, there is a growing contingent of new Canadians, new Manitobans, and people commuting from Winnipeg.
The base of our Farm operations, Steinbach is an exciting place to live. The city’s infrastructure and amenity growth brings with it opportunity to settle in a vibrant city that we think is one of the best kept secrets in Canada.
Our regional operations include our head office, two feed mills, sow, finishing, and nursery barn sites, fleet maintenance, wash and bake bays, and our primary distribution centre.
