Irrigation Field Manager

About the Role

Our Irrigation Field Manager is the “glue” of the company—the person who makes sure our technicians feel supported, our customers feel taken care of, and our work stays at a high level no matter how busy the season gets. This role is part trainer, part technician, part leader, and part vibe-setter. You’ll be in the field most of the time, doing ride-alongs, checking quality, handling tougher jobs, coaching techs, and making sure every customer experience is warm, safe, and positive. You’ll also run 1–2 jobs per day on your own depending on how busy the team is.

If you’re someone with strong irrigation knowledge who genuinely cares about people, loves helping others get better, and wants to make the world a better place in your own way—this job will feel meaningful and rewarding.

Responsibilities

A typical day might include:

• Riding along with technicians to train them on diagnosis, wiring, valves, hydraulics, and repair techniques
• Running your own repair jobs when the team is slammed or someone needs backup
• Checking the quality of repairs and making sure jobs meet our standards
• Coaching techs on communication, customer service, and problem-solving
• Stepping into difficult customer situations and helping them feel heard and taken care of
• Helping new apprentices learn the ropes and build confidence
• Reviewing photos, notes, and job details in Housecall Pro
• Supporting install crews as needed
• Holding team members accountable while still keeping the environment safe, warm, and fun

You’re basically the person who makes sure the field runs smoothly and everyone feels supported.
