Duties

The Industry Services Division of the CGC introduced a Grain Inspector Development Program (GIDP) in early 2014. The GIDP is an, up to, 4-year development program to qualify as a full working level Grain Inspector (PI-CGC-03). The development program is based on a modular curriculum of both classroom training and working practicum.

A Grain Inspector trainee will develop the ability to perform the preliminary inspection and analysis of grain samples; grading of grain samples; draw representative grain samples; determine the protein content on samples of wheat; maintain records of inspection data and inspect equipment; and perform other related duties as assigned.

Grain Inspector trainees will be expected to develop the required technical /behavioral competencies, within the four (4) year program as they progress from Trainee (PI-CGC-01) to Intermediate (PI-CGC-02) to full working level Grain Inspector (PI-CGC-03). An individual’s development will be constantly monitored against the program’s competency standards and expectations which, once demonstrated, a Trainee will be promoted to the next level. A Trainee’s development of the GIDP competencies will be based on an individual’s effort and capacity to learn as measured and reflected throughout the program so that progress through to the full working level may be accomplished within the four (4) year maximum timeframe. As such, a Trainee will be on probation for the duration of the development program and may be released at any time for failure to demonstrate the technical / behavioral competencies required and not meeting the goals and expectations of the program.

Successful completion of all GIDP components will be a condition of employment for all participants upon acceptance of a Grain Inspector trainee position.

Grain Inspector Trainees will work in a heavy industrial environment with exposure to moving railcars, automated equipment, dust, noise, bird excrement, heights and rodents. Employees must use personal protective equipment (supplied) as required for safety purposes. Any known allergies must be controlled through the use of masks and/or medication and must not impinge on ability to perform the job.
