Hog Procurement Assistant

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.
