Irrigation Technician (Landscaping) — Make Lawns Happy
Do you enjoy fixing things, working outdoors, and watching a crispy lawn turn into a green masterpiece? We’re looking for an Irrigation Technician to keep our landscape sites watered, dialed-in, and thriving. Pay: $26–$34/hour (based on experience). Start immediately.
What you’ll do
· Diagnose and repair landscape irrigation systems (sprinkler heads, rotors, drip lines, valves, solenoids, swing joints, leaks).
· Program and fine-tune controllers (seasonal adjustments, run times, sensors) to keep plants healthy while reducing waste.
· Perform spring start-ups: pressurize systems, check zones, adjust coverage, repair winter damage.
· Handle fall shutdowns/winterizations (blowouts where appropriate), protect vulnerable components, and leave sites ready for freeze season.
· Troubleshoot wiring, locate faults, and make clean, weatherproof connections.
· Confirm coverage and precipitation needs across turf, shrubs, beds, and new plantings (no “mystery dry spots”).
· Keep tidy service notes, parts used, and recommendations for upgrades.
· Work alongside our landscape crews so irrigation and planting plans actually get along.
Core competencies we’re looking for
· Troubleshooting mindset: you test, isolate, and fix—no part-swapping roulette.
· Water management: you balance plant health, site conditions, and efficiency.
· Quality workmanship: clean cuts, correct fittings, good glue/primer habits, and leak-free connections.
· Safety-first: you dig smart, mark/avoid utilities, and work carefully around water + electricity.
· Customer/site communication: you explain issues in plain language and keep the crew/site lead in the loop.
· Ownership: you show up, finish strong, and leave the site better than you found it.
Skills & must-haves
· Experience installing and servicing landscape irrigation (spray/rotor/drip), including leak repairs and zone troubleshooting.
· Comfort with PVC and poly pipe repair/installation, fittings, clamps, and basic hydraulics (pressure/flow awareness).
· Ability to program and troubleshoot common irrigation controllers and field wiring.
· Ability to read basic site layouts and mark/verify head spacing and coverage.
· Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation to get to the yard/site.
· Physically able to work outdoors, lift typical irrigation materials, kneel/dig/trench as needed, and handle changing weather.
· Professional, respectful attitude on residential and commercial sites.
Nice-to-haves
· Backflow prevention familiarity (and/or experience coordinating certified testing where required).
· Experience with smart controllers, rain/freeze sensors, flow sensors, or soil moisture sensors.
· Comfort operating small equipment (trencher, plate compactor, mini-excavator) and doing clean restoration (sod/bed repair).
· Landscape knowledge: turf care basics, plant water needs, soil types, and slope/drainage awareness.
· Any irrigation-related training/certifications.
What we offer
· $26–$34/hour (depending on experience and skill level).
· Steady work with a crew that takes pride in clean installs and smart repairs.
· Good equipment, organized parts, and realistic schedules (because nobody likes “panic irrigation”).
· Variety: residential + commercial landscapes, new installs, upgrades, and service calls.
