Our dedication to excellence has earned us a reputation as a trusted federally regulated agency in the industry. We foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment where every employee can thrive and contribute to our collective success. NDGI's Grain Sampler/Technician position entails going out to various elevators in Central to Northern Ohio. The Sampler is obtaining Agricultural grain samples from the railcar or container, legibly writing down the railcar or container ID's, and other information onto the work records. Maintaining accurate work records is a crucial piece of this position. The crew meets in the Bucyrus, OH office and takes a company vehicle out to all sites. So the drive time to and from the customer site is also paid! Hours are variable and there is not a limit on the amount of overtime that can be made. Starting wage is $17.00 per hour; however, the service request hours on customer sites worked outside of 7 am and 3 pm, Monday through Friday are paid at 1.5x your base rate ($25.50/hour). The service request hours on customer sites worked on Saturday are paid at time and a half and on Sunday are double time ($34.00/hour). This is a full time position. Please do not apply if you are unable to work both am and pm shifts. This job is one that has less hours in the summer months and more hours in the winter (harvest) months, due to the seasons in the agricultural industry. This position can work great for many different types of individuals. Many love it because it gives them more time in the summer to be able to enjoy the weather and family and friends.
