Job description

Oversee technicians, ensure quality repairs, and lead training in the field. A leadership role focused on standards and customer experience.

If you love teaching, helping people grow, and jumping in wherever your team needs you, this is the role for you. 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.

What You’ll Do

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.

What This Job Is Like

This role is a great fit for someone who:

Knows irrigation well (experience matters less than actual knowledge and competence)

Loves people and genuinely wants to help others grow

Has integrity and does the right thing even when nobody is watching

Is warm, friendly, and works well with a younger, positive team

Enjoys teaching and coaching

Can stay calm and steady when customers are stressed

Isn’t afraid to get their hands dirty

Can dig, repair, diagnose, and step into any job when needed

Wants to be part of a company culture built on safety, kindness, and belonging

You’ll spend about 75% of your time in the field and 25% in the office doing paperwork, training, or follow-ups.

Tools & Equipment

We’ll provide you with:

A take-home company vehicle

An iPad for job notes, photos, and dispatching

High-quality diagnostic tools (multimeter, wire tracer, etc.)

Uniforms and boots

All necessary repair tools and equipment

You’ll be part of a company that actually likes hanging out together. We do:

Company trips (Bear Lake, Sundance)

Campouts and barbecues

Pool parties

Golf events

Weekly team lunches

We care deeply about building a place where people feel safe, welcome, and supported. This role plays a huge part in creating that environment.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who:

Has solid irrigation knowledge (valves, wiring, diagnosis, hydraulics)

Communicates well with customers and team members

Leads with patience, kindness, and strength

Is willing to jump in and help anytime, anywhere

Knows how to be both a teacher and a teammate

Wants to grow into a leadership role

Represents the brand with warmth and professionalism

If you’re rough, harsh, or hard to work with, this job won’t be a good fit. We want someone who brings out the best in others.

Where This Leads

This role is the pathway to:

General Manager over an area

Multi-team oversight

Helping shape the culture and standards of the company as we grow

We promote from within, and we’re building a company where leaders grow into long-term roles.

More about this role:

Our culture is warm, friendly, and built on integrity, daily improvement, and genuine kindness. Field Managers play a big role in creating a safe, supportive environment where technicians feel encouraged and valued—not pressured or micromanaged. You’ll be working with a young, energetic team that likes to learn, grow, and have fun together through trips, events, and shared wins. If you want to lead with warmth, make an impact, and be part of a positive, people-focused company, this is the right place.
