The second aspect of this position includes assisting in ranch operation activities on aGRO's farm acreage. This will include washing and maintaining operating equipment and inventory. In addition, it will involve aiding in farm upkeep with the execution of livestock/poultry feeding, fence building, equipment maintenance, and gardening. The third aspect of this position includes assisting the CEO and Management where/when needed. As experience is acquired and efficacy is proven, this part of the role will also include leading operations while management is away on special events, vacations and/or meetings. Additionally, this part of the role includes running promotional events with other employees and completing small errands for the company as needed. Lastly it includes miscellaneous administrative tasks in safety compliance, scheduling, carbon tracking, supply purchases/sourcing, and receipt submissions for accounting.
