Job description
Workers will perform duties related to the installation, operation, and maintenance of agricultural irrigation systems used in crop production. Responsibilities include constructing and installing agricultural irrigation systems, such as laying pipe, setting pumps, installing sprinklers, drip lines, valves, and related components. Workers will troubleshoot and repair irrigation systems to ensure proper water distribution for crops and perform seasonal start-up and shut-down procedures, including draining, flushing, pressurizing, and winterizing equipment. Duties also include loading and unloading irrigation supplies, tools, pipes, pumps, and other materials; performing routine irrigation system maintenance such as inspection, cleaning, adjustments, and parts replacement; and conducting general farm facility maintenance, including minor repairs to agricultural buildings, equipment, and related infrastructure. Employees may be required to operate farm vehicles and equipment related to irrigation installation and repair. Work hours may vary depending on crop and irrigation demands. The employer reserves the right to increase workers' pay or provide bonuses based on tenure, performance, or other factors that are solely based on the discretion of the employer.
Special Requirements
Job requires having or being able to obtain a drivers license within 30 days of hire. Basic English literacy skills are required. Job will require periods when workers may be exposed to varying weather conditions and extensive pushing, pulling, sitting, walking, stooping, bending, or repetitive movements. Random drug testing and criminal background checks may occur post-hire at the employers expense. These checks may be performed to ensure safe housing and work environments for all workers. Positive drug test results or refusal to comply with testing may result in termination of employment. If the employer discovers a criminal conviction record or status as a registered sex offender that the employer reasonably believes, consistent with current law, will impair the safety and living conditions of other workers, the employer may terminate the worker (foreign and/or domestic) with notification to OFLC and DHS in accordance with 20 CFR 655.122(n).
