Job Description

Seasonal Grain Inspector

Join Eurofins Grain Inspection and turn your passion for agriculture into a hands-on opportunity supporting farmers, strengthening rural communities, and helping keep America’s food supply moving—especially during our busiest harvest seasons.

Why This Role Matters

Every sample you test helps a farmer get fair value for their harvest. In this seasonal role, you’ll play a critical part in ensuring grains meet industry standards during peak demand, protecting the integrity of the supply chain when it matters most.

What You’ll Do

  • Test and grade grain samples for moisture, weight, foreign material, mycotoxins, non-GMO traits, and more
  • Accurately record and communicate results to truck drivers, merchandisers, and farmers
  • Maintain sample flow through the lab to support efficient grain operations
  • Act as a backup sampler/prober and complete 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 team environment

Who You Are

  • Passionate about agriculture and supporting rural communities
  • Safety-focused and detail-oriented in every task
  • Customer-service driven with a positive, helpful attitude
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, small-team environment
  • Basic computer skills (Excel, Outlook) and willingness to learn
  • High school diploma or GED required; related experience is a plus
  • Able to meet physical demands (standing/sitting, light lifting, stairs)
  • Reliable transportation to and from the facility

Work Environment

You’ll work in a laboratory setting within an industrial facility. Expect:

  • Moderate noise and close team interaction
  • Exposure to dust, allergens, and lab materials
  • A temperature-controlled workspace designed for efficiency and safety

Why Join Us

  • Competitive hourly pay with overtime opportunities during peak season
  • Great opportunity to supplement your current income or save for the upcoming holidays
  • Hands-on training—no prior grain inspection experience required
  • A close-knit team environment where your work makes an immediate impact
  • A meaningful role supporting agriculture at the most critical time of year
  • Opportunity for permanent placement for high-performing individuals based on business needs

Compensation:

  • $16.00/hr

Schedule:

  • Monday-Friday 1:00pm-7:00pm Rotating Saturdays, additional hours during harvest
