Strong communication and relationship-building will be key to keeping grain moving and supporting plant operations.

You are organized, dependable, and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly. You enjoy working with people but also pay close attention to schedules, details, and data. You're able to recognize problems, communicate clearly, and find solutions before issues impact operations.

Whether you're coordinating deliveries with a farmer, communicating with a carrier, or working through scheduling challenges with internal teams, you remain professional, responsive, and solution-oriented. Most importantly, you take ownership of your work, follow through on commitments, and do the right thing for our customers, suppliers, and coworkers.

• Coordinate outbound co-product shipments and work with internal teams and carriers to support timely movement of product.
• Maintain accurate records, order information, and compliance documentation within company systems.
• Monitor carrier performance, identify recurring transportation issues, and work with internal and external partners to improve service and efficiency.
• Communicate and respond to changes in production needs, transportation availability, receiving capacity, and other factors that may impact grain movement.
• Identify opportunities to improve logistics processes, scheduling, communication, and overall operational efficiency.

What you bring:

• High school diploma or equivalent, with experience in logistics, transportation, shipping, supply chain coordination, agriculture, or a related area.
• Strong customer service and relationship-building skills with the ability to work effectively with both internal and external partners.
• Experience or familiarity with grain handling, grain quality standards, agriculture, transportation, or agricultural operations is preferred.
• Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving abilities with excellent attention to detail.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities and adjust quickly when schedules or operational needs change.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to professionally handle frequent phone, email, and in-person communication.
• Comfort using Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook and Excel, along with the ability to learn company scheduling, inventory, and other business systems.
• Ability to work independently, take ownership of responsibilities, and follow through on commitments.

Schedule:

• Regular work hours are 7:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, with a one-hour lunch.
• Occasional overtime may be required based on business needs.
• Some after-hours availability is required to help address time-sensitive logistics or operational needs.

Why You'll Love Working Here:

• Competitive compensation
• Benefits package including medical, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• 401(k) plan with a generous employer match
• Opportunities for advancement and skill development
• Work with cutting-edge technology in one of North America's most advanced oat mills
