Descripción del empleo

Location: Otsego, MI
Pay Rate: $17.33
Office: Kalamazoo, MI (Paramount)
Job ID: 1748903

Some people are wired for work that has a pulse to it. They grew up around barns, feed stores, or family operations where the animals ate before anybody sat down to dinner, and they learned early that living things do not care about your schedule. Others found their way to it later and discovered they would rather answer to a barn than a screen. Either way, it is the same kind of person: steady, observant, not rattled by early hours or dirty boots, and quietly proud of work that most people never think about until eggs are missing from the shelf.

Chickens do not take days off, which is why this job runs on a five-day schedule that includes weekends. The work sits inside barns that house laying hens, and the Animal Caretaker is the person who walks those rows, watches the birds, and catches the small problems before they turn into big ones. Egg lines back up. Ventilation drifts. A door gets left unlatched. Somebody has to notice.

The operation is an egg production facility in Otsego, Michigan, running automated environmental and egg flow systems inside climate-managed poultry houses. Barn temperature tracks with the weather outside, noise stays moderate, and airborne particles and moving mechanical parts are part of the setting. Personal protective equipment is required in certain areas.

What We Offer Our Animal Caretaker Position:

• $17.33 per hour
• Five days per week with two days off, weekends required
• Weekly pay
• Consistent, year-round schedule inside a controlled production environment
• On-the-job training on environmental systems, egg flow computers, and bird handling procedures
• A $100 bonus for every friend you refer to us, plus an additional $25 bonus for your referral to WSI
• Path to permanent hire based on attendance, reliability, and job performance

Requirements

• Must be able to speak, read, and write basic English
• Record of good attendance and availability for a flexible schedule including weekends
• Comfortable working in close, direct contact with live animals
• Ability to stand and walk constantly, lift up to 10 pounds frequently and 50 pounds occasionally
• Accurate documentation of daily and weekly tasks on required forms
• Basic reading, writing, and math skills
• Self-directed and organized with limited supervision
• High school diploma, GED, or equivalent preferred
• One year in an agricultural environment or animal care preferred
• Working knowledge of laying hen husbandry preferred

If you have worked around livestock and know that the job is equal parts routine and attention, this one will feel familiar. The birds need the same things every day, and the value you bring is showing up and doing it right every day. Reach out and we will get you scheduled.
