Data Entry Specialist

Job Summary

NDGI is an official grain inspection agency that is federally regulated by the Federal Grain Inspection service (FGIS) to inspect and grade grain for human and animal consumption. Our Data Entry department is a team of 4 and they are the last in line to enter and verify results before reaching our customers and the government. We are looking for an individual that owns their work and is excited to make sure everything is sent out in an accurate and efficient manner to meet strict deadlines each day. You will perform a variety of routine clerical and office support functions working closely with the 3 other Data Entry team members. Much of the day consists of either entering information into a computer program or proofing information someone else has already entered, to ensure it was entered correctly before going out to our customers and FGIS. For this position, we provide 100% on-the-job training, as we don't expect anyone to know anything about the grain industry. However, it does really help if the applicant knows their way around a computer and picks up on computer programs and other tasks easily, as there is a lot to learn in this fast paced industry.

Hours:

7:00 am to 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday

Occasionally need to be able to work on weekends, if the customer requests results prior to Monday or to help get a head start for Monday morning, since we have strict deadlines in the mornings that must be met. Majority of the time, if needed to come in on the weekends, it is only for a couple hours at most. Must be able to stay later or come in early with little notice. We usually know about coming in early by the end of the previous day. Showing up on time for shifts is crucial, as we have strict deadlines we have to meet in the mornings. We are federally regulated by the government and don't have leeway on the deadlines for this data to get to our customers. Therefore, the applicant must have the ability to be flexible with coming in early or staying late and MUST be reliable and show up for their shifts.
