Why you'll love this position:

As a consumer, you're protected by the Missouri Weights, Measures and Consumer Protection Division every time you shop. The division ensures the accuracy of all commercial weighing and measuring devices in Missouri. This is accomplished by annually certifying commercial weighing and measuring devices. The division has six weights and measures inspectors who certify the accuracy of large scales (capacity over 1,000 lbs.), such as livestock scales, vehicle scales, grain hopper and annually tests moisture meter devices. Any device used to determine the price of a commodity stands to be tested and certified by a weights and measures official. Whether it is a scale used in a grocery store, at a farmer's market, or at a roadside produce stand, the device should bear an approval seal from the Weights, Measures and Consumer Protection Division.
