Inspections Operations Supervisor

We are currently experiencing some service outages and portions of our website may not be functioning properly at this time. Thank you for your understanding.

Have you ever wondered how organic farmers and producers find trustworthy products that meet organic standards? That’s where the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) steps into the picture. OMRI is a leading nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and maintaining the integrity of the organic industry. We operate an internationally recognized evaluation program that reviews and lists input materials for use in producing, processing, and handling organic food and fiber.

The OMRI Listed® seal signifies that the product is permitted in organic operations certified by the USDA National Organic Program or the Canadian Organic Standards. It serves as a stamp of approval, allowing certified organic producers a simple way to responsibly choose input products.

OMRI is actively engaged in diversifying its workforce, creating an equitable workplace culture, and creating an inclusive workplace environment. Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they meet every one of the qualifications listed. We are most interested in finding the best candidate for the job, and that candidate may be one who comes from a less traditional background.

We encourage you to apply, even if you do not meet every one of our qualifications listed. Read our full IDEA Policy and Vision here.
