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.
