Market Hog Coordinator

RC Family Farms is hiring for the Market Hog Coordinator position in Orange City and Northwest Iowa producer farms, IA. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Feed, water, observe, move, and care for animals according to the farm's routines and welfare standards. • Clean and bed housing, maintain fences and water systems, and keep feed, tools, and care areas orderly. • Report changes in appetite, behavior, movement, injury, health, births, or facility condition immediately. • Walk grower pens and visually select market-weight hogs that meet the company's changing market criteria. • Observe and document producer compliance with applicable on-farm industry standards and raise questions or exceptions through the approved process. • Communicate clearly and frequently with contract growers and the marketing team so selection, timing, animal flow, and follow-up stay coordinated. How the work fits together Animal checks set the order of the day. Feed, water, health, weather exposure, and secure housing are confirmed before lower-priority projects. The employee records or reports observations, completes assigned husbandry and facility work, and rechecks gates, animals, equipment, and supplies before the shift ends. At RC Family Farms, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Walk grower pens and visually select market-weight hogs that meet the company's changing market criteria. Observe and document producer compliance with applicable on-farm industry standards and raise questions or exceptions through the approved process. Communicate clearly and frequently with contract growers and the marketing team so selection, timing, animal flow, and follow-up stay coordinated. What the employer is looking for • Clean driving record and physical ability to walk pens safely around market-weight hogs at producer farms. • Excellent communication, constructive teamwork, and an open, inquisitive response to change; pig experience is preferred but not required. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods. Schedule, conditions, and compensation The employer presents this as a full-time field role and advertises competitive compensation, a company vehicle, health, dental and vision insurance, 401(k) match, and paid time off, but publishes no numeric pay or fixed schedule. The employer does not publish a numeric wage range on this page, so no compensation has been estimated. Applicants should confirm the final hours, overtime treatment, starting assignment, travel or reporting point, supplied equipment, and benefit eligibility directly with the employer before accepting an offer. This is an in-person agricultural and animal-care position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season. The successful person should arrive ready to work, communicate early when a task or condition is unclear, follow the employer's safety and quality procedures, and leave tools, vehicles, production areas, and job sites secure and ready for the next shift. Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer. Only compensation and benefits expressly published by the employer are included here; unpublished terms have not been estimated.
