Their responsibilities often include operating and maintaining dairy processing equipment, monitoring product quality, performing laboratory tests, and adhering to food safety standards. Dairy Techs may work in dairy farms, processing plants, or laboratories, and they play a key role in making sure dairy products like milk, cheese, and yogurt meet regulatory and company standards.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a dairy tech?

To thrive as a Dairy Tech, you need knowledge of dairy production processes, equipment operation, and a background in food science or a related field, often supported by relevant certifications. Familiarity with automated milking systems, quality control software, and industry-standard sanitation protocols is typically required. Attention to detail, problem-solving, and strong teamwork skills help ensure smooth production and compliance with safety standards. These competencies are vital for maintaining product quality, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance in dairy processing environments.

Dairy Techs often encounter challenges such as troubleshooting equipment malfunctions, ensuring sensors and robotic components remain properly calibrated, and keeping up with the rapid pace of technological advancements. Working closely with farm staff and equipment vendors is essential to resolve issues quickly and minimize downtime. Regular training and strong problem-solving skills help Dairy Techs adapt to evolving systems and maintain smooth dairy operations.

Dairy One Cooperative, Inc.

Eldred, NY

Part-time

Re-posted 15 days ago

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. Each farm is different in size (number of 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 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.

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
