Smithfield Premium Genetics is excited to announce two Technical Support
Specialist opportunities based in northern North Carolina.

We are actively seeking for Master’s level Animal Scientists (preferably
focused in Genetics) to join our team. Please review the brief description
I have included and share with anybody you think might be interested.

With the advent of genomic enhanced selection and increased computational
capacity, SPG’s selection objectives have evolved to include traits that
require intense detailed data capture. Quality phenotypes are essential for
a successful genetic program and rate of improvement compromised in their
absence. The technical support specialist position is thus designed to
serve as the bridge between daily pig care and corresponding data capture
practices. The individual in this role will provide on-farm technical
support to address opportunities that undermine the genetic program.
Responsibilities include implementing, training, and participating in data
capture according to standard operating procedures. Furthermore, this
position will monitor reports to prioritize activities, provide on-site
leadership for technical initiatives, and ensure overall compliance to
deliver accurate data efficiently, timely, and consistently within and
across locations.
