About the role

This is a hands-on role for someone who takes ownership of their work, enjoys solving mechanical and electrical puzzles, and knows the difference between "fixed" and "fixed right."

Responsibilities

Perform spring start-ups, mid-season service calls, and fall blow-outs (winterizations) across a route of commercial and residential properties
Diagnose and repair issues with sprinkler heads, valves, controllers, wiring, backflow preventers, mainlines, and lateral lines
Test, repair, and certify RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) backflow assemblies in accordance with Minnesota Plumbing Code
Install new irrigation systems and system upgrades, including trenching, pipe fitting, head layout, zone wiring, and controller programming
Communicate clearly and professionally with property managers, HOA boards, and homeowners — explaining findings, recommendations, and pricing in plain English
Document every call: photos, parts used, time on site, and next-step recommendations
Keep your company truck stocked, clean, and presentable — you're a rolling billboard for ProScapes
Maintain a safe jobsite and follow all locate/811, OSHA, and MN Plumbing Code requirements

Requirements

Active MN RPZ Backflow Certification (or ability to obtain within 60 days — we'll help)
2–5 years of hands-on irrigation experience including installs, service, and winterization
Strong diagnostic skills — you can trace a wire fault, read a controller, and find a stuck valve without calling the office
Valid driver's license and clean driving record (we'll run an MVR)
Comfortable working outdoors in Minnesota weather from April through November
Ability to lift 50+ lbs and operate a trencher, vibratory plow, and hand tools safely
Professional appearance and communication — you'll be face-to-face with our customers every day
Irrigation Association certifications (CIT, CIC, or CLIA)
Experience with large-property commercial systems (pump stations, central control, two-wire)
Landscape lighting or drainage experience
Bilingual (English/Spanish)

Qualifications

Competitive pay based on experience and certifications
Company-provided truck — fully stocked, fueled, and maintained (no wear-and-tear on your personal vehicle)
Health insurance for you and your family
Paid time off — because rest matters
Company-provided uniforms, safety gear, and tools for the job
Ongoing training & certification support — we pay for RPZ renewals and encourage you to level up
Year-round work potential — pair irrigation season with our snow & ice division and stay on the clock all 12 months
A real team, not a revolving door — we hire people we'd want to work alongside, and we keep them
