Irrigation Tech

The main task of an Irrigation Technician is to maintain the irrigation equipment assigned in a specific area. This equipment can include sprinklers, water lines, pumps, suction devices, valves and other plumbing equipment. This equipment can sometimes be buried underground and must be excavated to be maintained, so irrigation technicians should be comfortable working with digging equipment such as backhoes, shovels and augers.
