- Lead sampling and reporting activities during the storage season and support long‑term pile management strategies.
- Act as the primary contact for raw product transportation providers and manage short‑term logistics planning.
- Promote safety excellence by modeling proper PPE use and machine safety, while supporting continuous improvement initiatives.
- Work experience in agriculture, manufacturing, supply chain, logistics, or a related field.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build and maintain cross‑functional and external partnerships.
