Why VeraSun?
I enjoyed my 15 years with a large chemical company, but there was always something missing... home. The ethanol industry was my opportunity to come home. VeraSun was the right company to come home to."
Director of Process Improvement
At VeraSun, we are working to create a future that includes renewable energy. Our nation's growing dependence on fossil fuels – and the impact this has on our economy and our environment – has never been more apparent. We believe there is a better way – renewable fuels.
The opportunity to work for VeraSun is an opportunity to work for a company that strives each and every day to be a leader in the industry. Since its start in 2001, VeraSun has had many “firsts” – the first to build a 100 million-gallon-per-year (MMGY) dry-grind production facility; the country's first branded E85, VE85®; the first pure-play ethanol producer to publically offer its common stock, and the first to form strategic alliances with Ford, General Motors, Enterprise Rent-A-Car and Kroger to increase awareness and availability of E85.
Whether it is a position with our corporate office or one of our production facilities, the Fields of Opportunities at VeraSun are endless. The chance to work and live in prospering rural communities has attracted many VeraSun employees to come back to regions where they were either raised themselves or have family members living in the area.
VeraSun is proud of its accomplishments and its position as a leader in the renewable fuels industry. Getting there is the result of hard work, passion for what we do and a dedication to improving our country's environment while creating energy independence from foreign oil. But more importantly, our success is about the employees who come to work every day wanting to make our company and our country better.

It is our philosophy to provide a competitive salary and rewards program to attract and retain the best talent available in our industry.
