Required

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • 1–2 years of experience at a grain handling facility
  • Working knowledge of PLC/controls and the ability to read amp and percentage meters

  • Solid math skills — comfortable with percentages, decimals, and multiplication
  • Ability to lift up to 50 lbs repetitively and work in confined spaces
  • Physical comfort working at heights up to 150 feet and in all weather conditions
  • Flexibility to work long hours, including weekends, holidays, and evenings during peak season
  • A genuine safety-first attitude — you look out for yourself and your teammates
