Bid Coordinator

We’ve got a position cooking on our K12 team. We’re looking for a Bid Coordinator who is detail-oriented and interested in a career in the food industry.

At National Food Group, we’re proud of our fun, collaborative, and progressive culture. We’re always looking for ways to innovate corporate life to be more fun and convenient for our team members, especially in these unprecedented times. When in the office, team members can enjoy our hot and cold beverage machines, a clubhouse and other fun meeting spaces, an in-house gym, and an Innovation Center where all our cooking magic happens! Our team has a good balance of work and play.

Fun is one of our five core values, and that extends to having fun giving back. Through our Project SERVE corporate social responsibility, we volunteer together, donate food, provide and sponsor education about health and the food service industry, and work to reduce food waste and increase sustainability efforts. We also celebrate and educate about diversity, equity and inclusion. To learn more about Project SERVE visit nfgprojectserve.com.
