What are the responsibilities and job description for the Heavy Equipment Operator / Agricultural Irrigation Technician position at Legacy Irrigation and Construction Supply?
Equipment Operator / Agricultural Irrigation Technician
Join a team that serves the backbone of our agricultural community.
Legacy Irrigation & Construction Supply is a veteran-owned business proudly dedicated to supporting our local farmers and ranchers. With deep roots in the agricultural community, we specialize in the installation, maintenance, and repair of high-quality irrigation systems. We believe in hard work, integrity, and teamwork—and we foster a supportive environment where every team member is appreciated and empowered to grow.
We’re looking for an experienced Heavy Equipment Operator who is equally comfortable stepping into the field to support our Outside Crew. This is a hybrid role for someone who not only knows their way around an excavator or skid steer but is also willing and able to roll up their sleeves to help install water pipelines, pumps, and other agricultural irrigation systems.
- Operate heavy equipment such as excavators, backhoes, skid steers, and trenchers for trenching, excavation, and material handling.
- Assist with hands-on installation, maintenance, and repair of agricultural irrigation systems, including pipelines, pivots, and pumps.
- Perform manual labor as needed—digging, lifting (50 lbs), and working outdoors in varying weather conditions.
- Conduct routine inspections and basic maintenance on equipment to ensure safe and efficient operation.
- Transport equipment and materials to job sites using company trucks and trailers.
- Follow all OSHA and company safety guidelines to promote a safe work environment.
- Collaborate closely with the outside crew to ensure timely, high-quality project completion.
- Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation; CDL preferred.
- Proven experience operating heavy equipment in a construction or agricultural setting.
- Mechanical aptitude and ability to troubleshoot and perform minor equipment repairs.
- Strong work ethic and attention to detail.
- Ability to work well in a team environment and follow direction.
- Flexibility to work overtime during peak seasons.
- Experience with agricultural irrigation systems is a strong plus.
- Competitive pay based on experience
- Comprehensive health insurance
- Company-contributed retirement plan
- Paid time off
- Positive, team-oriented work culture
- Opportunities for advancement and skill development
If you're a dependable, hard-working professional who takes pride in both your equipment skills and your hands-on contributions in the field, we want to hear from you. Apply today and become a part of Legacy Irrigation, where we work hard, support one another, and serve those who grow our future.
