Grain Inspector Trainees will be expected to develop the required technical and behavioral competencies within the program as they progress from Trainee (PI-CGC-01) to full working-level Grain Inspector (PI-CGC-03). Trainees will receive constant monitoring and feedback so individuals may be promoted to the next level as they successfully demonstrate the program's competency standards and expectations.

Trainee progress and success will be dependent on the individual's own effort and capacity to learn the required competencies rather than a pre-determined schedule. Trainees will be on probation for the duration of the development program and may be released at any time for failure to meet program expectations and demonstrate the required technical/behavioral competencies. Successful completion of all GIDP components will be a condition of employment for all participants upon acceptance of a Grain Inspector trainee position.

Work environment

Grain Inspector Trainees will work in a heavy industrial workplace 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 the trainee's ability to perform the job.

Winter Work Conditions: In regions where winter conditions result in a freeze period of the waterways preventing navigation through locks, operational requirements may be reduced or temporarily adjusted. As a result, work availability may vary, and there may be periods during which employees are placed in an off-pay status for all or part of the freeze period, in accordance with operational needs. These arrangements are temporary and may be modified, reduced, or discontinued based on annual operational requirements.

Employees will be notified in advance,



where possible, and are responsible for understanding the available options and any associated requirements during these periods.
