Job description

Dairy One Cooperative is seeking a part-time Dairy Herd Improvement (DHI) Invoice Technician to add to our growing team. The DHI Invoice Technician is responsible for sampling milk from individual cows that will provide critical data to help farms make decisions and achieve their goals (production & profit).  The DHI Invoice Tech plays a significant role in providing the cooperative ownership with timely, accurate, and meaningful data. This position works on-site at various dairy operations.

This territory covers the greater Delaware County, NY area, and you may live anywhere within reasonable driving distance of the area. This role offers considerable autonomy, though evening and weekend work may be required to meet the demands of the position. No overnight travel required.

There is no such thing as a “typical day”, but your days will become predictable within your circuit and market. 

Our ideal candidate loves being on farms, brings a passion for working in the livestock industry, and has a strong work ethic and attention to detail. If you are strong in agriculture, we are open to candidates from various backgrounds such as genetics, feed, cattle, herd health, or related farming experience. Job satisfaction should come from building relationships with farmers in your existing/assigned circuit as well as with new farms and from working for a company that really makes a difference in the dairy food production realm. 

You will be expected to communicate regularly with your team leader(s) regarding scheduling, to be dependable and prompt, and to uphold Dairy One Values of Integrity, Professionalism, Commitment, Innovation, Positivity, and Safety.

We are seeking people who have a passion for (and experience in) farming and the physical capability to do the work required. In order to apply you MUST have a High School diploma, a good driving record, dependable transportation, and some dairy farm experience.
