- Travel up to 60% to project sites and support overtime during busy seasons
What We’re Looking For
- 2 years of experience in millwright work, grain-bin construction, agricultural construction, structural steel, industrial maintenance, or equipment installation
- Grain bin, grain dryer, conveyor, auger, elevator, or material-handling experience is strongly preferred

- Full-time, permanent employment
- Hands-on work with a respected team in the agricultural and grain-storage industry
