Job description

But that only happens because we have amazing people like you on our team. If you’re ready to take the next step in your career as an Irrigation Technician — or you’re already skilled in irrigation repair and service — then we want to talk with you.

At The Grounds Guys, we’re more than just “the lawn guy.” We’re a dedicated team of lawn care, landscaping, and irrigation experts that know how to make a great first impression. From the professional appearance of our crews to the attention to detail we give every job, we stand by our Neighborly Done Right Promise every time.

Here at The Grounds Guys, we’re seeking an experienced Irrigation Technician who can take ownership of service calls from start to finish. While we provide training and support, this role requires someone who already understands irrigation systems and can troubleshoot issues with confidence. As the company grows, you will have the opportunity to grow into higher-level responsibilities as well.

Is this right for you?

Here are some things we’re looking for in an Irrigation Technician. If you identify with any of these statements, we want to speak with you right away — so make sure to apply immediately.

• You enjoy troubleshooting problems and finding the right solution the first time.
• You see customer service issues as an opportunity to turn every customer into a raving fan.
• You take pride in clear communication and getting the job done right, no matter what it takes.

Your Responsibilities as an Irrigation Technician

Front-Line Employee –

• You are quite literally the boots on the ground. You’ll be a front-line employee who provides exceptional care of our customers’ irrigation systems and properties.
• You will diagnose and repair irrigation systems, including heads, valves, pipe, wiring, controllers, sensors, and related components.
• You will perform system inspections, seasonal startups, winterizations, and preventative maintenance.
• You will confidently run service calls and represent the company professionally on-site.
• When irrigation work is light, you’ll assist landscape and project crews to ensure steady productivity and team support.
• You must be able to operate equipment safely and work outdoors in all weather conditions, performing physical work and lifting/carrying 35–80 pounds regularly.
• You ensure each job site is clean, professional, and set up for success the next day.

How We Measure Success

• Attendance: Reliability is critical for every member of the team.
• Budget vs. Actual Hours: Keeping jobs profitable depends on managing time effectively.
• Return Rates: We fix it right the first time whenever possible.
