Perform advanced irrigation diagnostics, repairs, and system evaluations
Mentor and support a team of four technicians
Solve complex system problems that require deep technical knowledge
Help drive field productivity and improve average job quality
Identify process improvements and help implement them
As the Company Grows (Phase 2 — Operations Manager)
Manage technician performance and daily field coordination
Oversee hiring and training of new technicians
Implement operational systems that reduce the owner’s involvement
Participate in company strategy and planning
