S6H7T2

Break into agriculture procurement with one of Western Canada's leading pork processors.

North 49 Foods is looking for a Hog Procurement Assistant to join our Moose Jaw team. This is a hands-on, learn-as-you-go role for someone who wants real exposure to livestock supply chain, producer relationships, and data-driven decision making, not a desk job where you watch from the sidelines.

You’ll work directly with our Hog Procurement team, learn the full lifecycle from booking loads to settlement reporting, and build a skill set that opens doors across the ag industry.

What you’ll actually be doing

• Scheduling and tracking hog loads from booking through delivery
• Verifying delivery accuracy: trucking, arrival times, site info, PIDs
• Running daily, weekly, and monthly procurement reports
• Digging into hog probing data to spot trends and flag issues
• Preparing settlement reports to make sure producers get paid accurately and on time
• Supporting on-farm producer audits and compliance checks
• Covering for the procurement team during vacations and absences
• Building real relationships with producers, suppliers, and CFIA contacts

What you bring

• A degree in animal science, ag business, ag economics (or similar) preferred, but 2 years of relevant experience works too
• Strong Excel skills and comfort learning new systems
• Sharp analytical thinking, you're not afraid of numbers, ratios, and data
• Solid written and verbal communication
• A valid driver's licence and reliable transportation (you'll be visiting producer farms)
• Comfortable working around livestock, in all weather, with all the smells and noise that come with it
• TQA certification, or willingness to get certified after hire

The environment, straight up

This isn’t a climate-controlled office job. Expect heat, cold, noise, and the occasional 50 lb lift. If you want a role where you’re outside your comfort zone learning something new every week, this is it.
