Website Dairy One Cooperative, Inc
We measure it so you can manage it
Our Organization
Dairy One Cooperative, Inc has been providing service to members for over 70 years. Many employees have chosen careers with our organization because of our values, stability, and long-term commitment to each other and to the industry.
We are seeking a Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) Technician to add to our growing team. The DHI Tech is responsible for providing critical data to help farms make decisions and achieve their production and profitability goals. We do this by providing them with timely, accurate and meaningful data. You will be on-site at your dairy farm customers to perform data collection which is then used to make better herd management decisions.
This role offers considerable autonomy, though evening and weekend work may be required to meet the demands of the position. Little to no overnight travel is required. Each farm is different in size (# cows), parlor set up, milking schedule, services required and distance from your home. There is no such thing as a “typical day”, but your days will become predictable within your circuit and market.
Our ideal candidate brings a passion for working in the livestock industry and has a strong attention for detail. If you enjoy agriculture, we are open to candidates from various backgrounds such as genetics, feed, cattle, herd health, or related farming experience. Job satisfaction will come from building relationships with farmers in your existing/assigned circuit as well as with new farms.
Essential Job Functions:
Equipment usage: sanitizing, setup/cleanup, printing reports and invoicing
Testing: record cow number, pour samples, monitor data for accuracy, sample delivery
Communication: Invoicing, driving/on-site visits and consultations with farms, connecting with Dairy One team and management for assistance as needed
We offer a competitive salary based on experience, and unlimited growth opportunity within the company.
