Irrigation technician (agriculture)

Irrigation technicians install, maintain, and repair the systems that water crops and landscapes. The work involves laying and connecting pipes and emitters, inspecting and troubleshooting systems, repairing leaks and faults, and adjusting watering across variable field and greenhouse conditions.

They work for farms, landscaping firms, and irrigation companies. The role suits practical, hands-on people who enjoy outdoor work and solving mechanical and hydraulic problems, can work efficiently across varied sites, and take satisfaction in keeping the systems that deliver water — and with it, growth — running reliably.
