Employment Business Incubator (EBI) recruits an Agro-food Engineer to support an agro-industrial group in the industrial processing of maize.
Background
An agro-industrial group wants to hire an agri-food engineer who is an expert in the processing of maize. You will assume the technical management of the dry milling circuit: purification, preparation of cereals, removal of germs, grinding, screening and sorting of different components (flour, semolina, gritz, germs and bran). Your role will be to improve extraction rates, ensure that the food meets buyers' requirements (provenderies, mills, breweries) and contribute to the profitability of secondary products. This function requires an assiduous presence on the production site and a true industrial spirit.
Main duties
You will control the entire processing cycle: reception, purification, wetting, germ removal, grinding, screening and packaging. You will set and calibrate the manufacturing constants (mill setting, moisture level, grain size, flow) to increase the production of gritz.
You will ensure the qualitative control of the final and secondary items: particle size, lipid content, ash levels, humidity and presence of mycotoxins. You will benefit from derivatives (germ, bran, lower flours) by targeting the oil and animal nutrition sectors.
You will establish and maintain HACCP, GMP and BPH standards as well as disinfection protocols. You will observe the efficiency ratios (losses, energy consumption, waste, yields) and suggest improvement measures. You will take part in the preventive maintenance and monitoring of machines (plansichters, grinders, degermères, cleaners).
You will administer the grain supply in collaboration with the agricultural division and check the corn for compliance upon receipt. You will lead, educate and motivate production teams. Finally, you will design technical balances, manufacturing records and activity reports.
Candidate profile
You hold a BAC level diploma+5, a degree in food engineering, food process engineering or similar, with a specialization in corn processing (gritz, bran and by-products).
You have a minimum of three years of practice in food manufacturing on an industrial scale. A professional experience in semolina, milling or dry grinding corn is a considerable asset.
You are proficient in grain grinding and separation techniques, qualitative inspection of cereals and their derivatives, as well as HACCP guidelines and health safety. You know how to manage a production, interpret performance statistics and have fundamental notions in industrial maintenance.
On a personal level, you demonstrate thoroughness, excellent organization, focus on results, commanding spirit, independence, flexibility and a strong appeal to the factory environment.

- •Never pay any amount of money — for a file, a training, a uniform, or an interview. A real employer never asks the candidate to pay.
- •Never send a photo of your ID card, passport, or banking details before you have physically verified the employer exists.
- •Always meet in a public place, during the day — never an isolated address, a private home, or a location you cannot verify in advance.
- •Tell a relative or friend exactly where you are going, with whom, and at what time — and share your live location if possible.
- •Search the company name online before going: a real business has a trace (website, reviews, other employees, an official address).
- •A salary that is far above the market rate for the position and the city is a red flag — be extra cautious.
