Job Description

Irrigation Manager | Know the Equipment. Lead the People. Own the Results.

Know your way around irrigation equipment? Tired of watching someone else make the decisions?

A growing equipment company is looking for a hands-on Irrigation Manager who understands agricultural irrigation and knows what it takes to keep crews, equipment, and customers moving.

We're interested in two types of people: an experienced irrigation leader or a strong field/service professional ready to take the next step.

This isn't a desk job.

You'll lead an established irrigation operation, balancing fieldwork, people, schedules, equipment, and customer commitments.

Your responsibilities include:

  • Lead, schedule, and develop irrigation installation and service crews

  • Coordinate projects, equipment, materials, and field resources

  • Troubleshoot irrigation systems and help solve problems in the field

  • Monitor labor, job costs, productivity, and project performance

  • Work directly with agricultural customers and support sales

  • Improve safety, quality, equipment reliability, and operational results

What will get our attention?

  • 4+ years of agricultural irrigation experience

  • Experience with center-pivot irrigation systems, installation, maintenance, or service

  • Strong mechanical and equipment troubleshooting skills

  • Ability to organize crews, schedules, and customer priorities

  • Leadership experience OR the potential and desire to step into leadership

  • CDL and ability to meet applicable DOT and physical requirements

You don't need a management title to be considered.

If you're the person others turn to when equipment breaks down, a job falls behind, or a customer needs answers, we want to talk.

You'll have the opportunity to lead an established operation, work with experienced company leadership, and make a direct impact on how the business performs.

Ready to move from getting the work done to leading the operation?
