- Read irrigation plans and locate mainlines, laterals, valves, and backflow assemblies
- Recognize backflow assembly issues and flag them for certified testing
- Communicate clearly with the office and the client on site about system condition and repairs needed
- Keep the service vehicle and equipment stocked, maintained, and ready for the next stop
What It Takes
- Experience with irrigation systems: installation, repair, or service
- Working knowledge of controllers, valves, heads, and backflow assemblies
- Valid driver's license
- Able to read irrigation plans and troubleshoot systems in the field
- Comfortable working outside through spring startup and fall winterization seasons
