Job Summary
Our Ag Operations Interns have the opportunity to experience and learn the day to day operations of grain facilities across the US, including facility management, people management, scheduling, grain management and other key skills necessary to make sure our assets are well-managed and safe for all ADM colleagues and contractors. Grain facilities at ADM can consist of many components, including truck, rail and river transport, large grain storage capacity and the ability to move large amounts of grain to other ADM sites or other destinations in North America or around the world. ADM’s grain elevators are the first stop for local farmers and a key part of ADM’s supply chain network – getting grain to where it needs to go.
You will gain firsthand exposure to leadership, equipment troubleshooting and dealing with the myriad of challenges in a facility that operates around the clock, 365 days a year. This experience offers hands-on knowledge of grain operations processes, products, and employees in the real word of manufacturing at ADM. Our program promotes the development of students while providing a training ground for potential future employees.

• Understanding of how to manage grain inventory levels and prepare accurate records/reports.
• Learn and support compliance with OSHA, FDA, and other ADM safety standards.
• Participate in facility housekeeping to maintain safe and efficient working conditions.
