Why You'll Want This Job Profit sharing that actually pays out — adds roughly $3-$4/hour on top of base, twice a yearHealth, dental, disability, 401(k), $150 clothing allowance, and paid team-building daysReal growth path — we promote from within, and our Management Trainee program builds location managers from the ground upFamily-owned feel with a worldwide footprint — leadership knows your name, decisions get made fast, and you're treated like a partner, not a number What This Job Actually Is (In Plain Terms)We produce seed for farmers — corn, soybeans, wheat — and before that seed leaves our facility, it has to be cleaned, sorted, sized, treated, and packaged to meet customer specifications. The whole process is called conditioning. You'll run the seed conditioning equipment: operating the tower, controlling the flow of seed through the system, maintaining product quality, and making sure every order going out meets specifications.
If you've worked a production line in food manufacturing, packaging, grain handling, feed milling, or fertilizer processing, the work will feel familiar. The product is different, but the rhythm is the same: keep upstream feeding downstream, watch for quality issues, prevent downtime, and make the run.
This is a hands-on operator role with informal leadership of the conditioning crew on the floor — not a desk job, not a manager role.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities Operate the conditioning tower to minimize downtime in the conditioning lineMaximize the total number of units processed and packaged from each runEnsure all products conditioned meet customer quality specificationsDaily supervision of other employees working within conditioning processesEnsure product integrity through thorough cleaning between conditioning runs and when transferring seed into the processing towerImplement Remington's QMS program within your area of responsibilityEnsure a safe work environment and implement company safety programsMake suggestions on safety and process improvementComplete all conditioning records accuratelyPerform preseason maintenance to prevent downtime during conditioning seasonSome forklift work and preventative maintenance work on machineryMaintain a neat, clean, and organized work area What You'll Bring Hands-on production line experience as an operator, line worker, or equivalentStrong communication and leadership instincts — the operator others on the line already turn to when something needs figuring outAbility to lift 30-75 lb bags repeatedly throughout the dayComfort being on your feet all day — there's not much sitting in this roleSome forklift experience, or willingness to get certifiedMechanical aptitude for preseason maintenance work on machineryReliable attendance and a long-tenured work history What the Work Is Really LikeThe job runs in seasons. September through March is conditioning and shipping season — high volume, real urgency, overtime hours available, and the line runs hard. March through September slows down — shipping stops and the focus shifts to organizing the warehouse and prep for next season. People who like that rhythm tend to stick.
You'll be on your feet all day — not much sitting down. You'll be in a dusty environment with seed and pollen exposure. PPE is provided, but strong dust or pollen sensitivities aren't a fit for this role.
This is a step up from operator, not a step down from manager. We're looking for experienced production line operators with strong communication and leadership instincts who are ready to take on more responsibility and get paid for it.
If you've worked food production, packaging lines, grain handling, or seed plants before, you already know what this kind of work looks like. If you haven't, but you're a strong production operator from another industry who's curious about ag and ready to learn — we want to hear from you.
