    • Act as a backup sampler/prober and complete related paperwork
    • Serve as a trusted liaison between Eurofins, farmers, and grain companies
    • Keep the lab clean, safe, and compliant with health, safety, and environmental guidelines
    • Stay up to date on USDA grain standards
    • Contribute to a collaborative, ethical team environment
