Seasonal Tractor Driver

Louisburg Cider Mill is hiring for the Seasonal Tractor Driver position in Louisburg, KS. 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 • Prepare the assigned farm attraction, guest area, produce display, equipment, or supplies before opening and keep the area orderly through the shift. • Welcome visitors, explain the assigned activity or farm procedure clearly, and follow the employer's rules for safe guest movement and participation. • Communicate crowd, weather, equipment, product, safety, or customer-service concerns to the farm lead promptly. • Complete the employer's tractor and wagon checks, operate only the assigned route and equipment, and follow all loading, speed, stopping, and communication procedures. • Help guests board and exit as directed, maintain a calm and courteous presence, and keep the route, waiting point, wagon, and surrounding farm area orderly. • Monitor changing crowd, weather, ground, visibility, equipment, and route conditions and stop or escalate work whenever safe operation is uncertain. How the work fits together Agritourism work connects visitors with a working farm during a concentrated seasonal window. The team prepares before opening, checks the assigned area and supplies, welcomes and directs guests, resets the space throughout service, and completes an orderly close. Employees must balance warmth and efficiency with clear boundaries around farm equipment, animals, crops, traffic, food, and weather. At Louisburg Cider Mill, the employer also makes these role-specific priorities clear: Complete the employer's tractor and wagon checks, operate only the assigned route and equipment, and follow all loading, speed, stopping, and communication procedures. Help guests board and exit as directed, maintain a calm and courteous presence, and keep the route, waiting point, wagon, and surrounding farm area orderly. Monitor changing crowd, weather, ground, visibility, equipment, and route conditions and stop or escalate work whenever safe operation is uncertain. What the employer is looking for • Friendly, dedicated, hardworking, outgoing teamwork and willingness to learn the mill's fall-farm guest and equipment procedures. • Ability to meet the employer's age, licensing, driving-record, and equipment-experience requirements for tractor operation; the public page sets a general applicant minimum of age 14 but candidates must confirm the higher minimum for drivers. • Dependable attendance, direct communication, and willingness to follow the employer's safety, quality, and customer- or production-care procedures. • Ability to complete the role's active, in-person work and to ask for instruction before using unfamiliar tools, equipment, products, or animal-handling methods. Schedule, conditions, and compensation This is flexible, seasonal part-time work for the fall farm. The 2026 family-farm season runs September 11–November 1, while the employment page states seasonal work is subject to end on or after October 31. Competitive wages, on-the-job training, employee discounts, and flexible scheduling are advertised, but no numeric pay or exact shift pattern is published. The employer does not publish a numeric wage range on this page, so no compensation has been estimated. Applicants should confirm the final hours, overtime treatment, starting assignment, travel or reporting point, supplied equipment, and benefit eligibility directly with the employer before accepting an offer. This is an in-person horticulture and outdoor position with a small operation. Daily priorities can change with weather, plant or animal condition, equipment availability, customer schedules, and the season. The successful person should arrive ready to work, communicate early when a task or condition is unclear, follow the employer's safety and quality procedures, and leave tools, vehicles, production areas, and job sites secure and ready for the next shift. Applicants should expect active work that may include long periods of standing or walking, bending, lifting, repetitive hand tasks, noise, dust, mud, pollen, heat, cold, rain, or work around moving equipment. The exact physical demands differ by assignment. Candidates should discuss any accommodation needs with the employer and confirm the final schedule, overtime treatment, training period, travel expectations, and benefit eligibility before accepting an offer. Only compensation and benefits expressly published by the employer are included here; unpublished terms have not been estimated.
