Putting the smart in manufacturing

Our Solutioneers are at the top of their fields, and they come to work each day like kids in a candy store, powered by their insatiable hunger to shatter boundaries. They’re curious, creative, and ambitious, whether they’re designing a new production process for red sorghum by day or brewing the next great IPA at night. We're pumped that these extraordinary individuals choose to work at Gray Solutions, where passion and ingenuity reign supreme.

Meet our Solutioneers
My most memorable team experience was finally getting to visit a jobsite in Ireland after more than two years of remote work. We got to meet people we had been working with for a long time, foster new relationships with partners, and make countless memories (plus the Guinness just tastes better).
