About the role

The State of Iowa, Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, is seeking a full-time Meat Inspector for the Washington County region in southeast Iowa. You will inspect locker plants and meat facilities for safety, hygiene, and labeling compliance, traveling statewide as needed. You will complete required USDA courses within six months, possess a valid driver's license, and communicate findings to facilities. State benefits include IPERS retirement and comprehensive health insurance.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
