Irrigation Technician

Andy's Professional Landscaping is hiring for the Irrigation Technician position in Cherry Valley, IL. This hands-on role supports the operation's day-to-day production and care work. Reliable execution and early communication matter because the work directly affects plants, animals, equipment, coworkers, customers, or the surrounding property. What you will do • Install, inspect, diagnose, or repair irrigation lines, valves, heads, wiring, and controllers within assigned skill level. • Test coverage and operation, document findings, and explain unresolved water or system issues to the lead. • Protect utilities, plant roots, finished surfaces, and customer property during excavation and repair. • Diagnose and repair residential and commercial controllers, valves, pumps, wiring, heads, piping, coverage, and drainage problems. • Perform spring startups, fall winterizations, audits, efficiency adjustments, installations, upgrades, and repair estimates. • Work directly with customers, document service by smartphone, and maintain the assigned company vehicle, tools, and equipment. How the work fits together Irrigation assignments begin with the service scope and a systematic inspection rather than random replacement of parts. The employee isolates the problem, completes authorized work, tests the affected zone and surrounding system, restores disturbed soil or landscape, and records material and follow-up needs before leaving.
