The Career Pathways

Cool store and freezer rooms are at most farm operations as they help to slow ripening and keep produce fresh until it is ready for delivery to market. A cold storage manager is responsible for running, directing, and monitoring a team of other workers and ensure the efficient movement of goods in and out of cold storage.
