Grain Inspector

  • Accurately record and communicate results to truck drivers, merchandisers, and farmers
  • Maintain sample flow through the lab and support smooth grain operations
  • Act as a backup sampler/prober and handle all related paperwork
  • Serve as a trusted liaison between Eurofins, farmers, and grain companies
  • Keep the lab clean, safe, and compliant with health, safety, and environmental guidelines
  • Stay up to date on USDA grain standards
  • Contribute to a collaborative, ethical work environment that values every team member

  • Able to stand or sit for long stretches, lift up to 15 pounds, and navigate stairs
  • Proud to support farmers and rural livelihoods—with reliable transportation to our facility
