Job description

HR & Payroll Administrator

Term: 1 Year Term, Full-time Position

About us:

The Prairie Agricultural Machinery Institute (PAMI) was founded in 1975, on the recommendation of a federal commission on farm machinery advocating for the creation of a central agency for testing and evaluating farm machinery in Canada. PAMI's mandate has evolved to include researching, designing, building and testing technology in the agriculture, mining and transportation industries. PAMI does not retain intellectual property rather it supports the IP development of its clients and collaborates in technology creation.

Since its inception, PAMI has operated out of two highly specialized technological facilities in Humboldt, SK and Portage la Prairie, MB. While both sites are state-of-the-art facilities, PAMI's most valuable asset continues to be its staff of 35-50 employees who encompass a variety of backgrounds including agriculture, engineering, mining, trades, and instrumentation.
