Irrigation Installer

An Irrigation Installer is responsible for setting up, maintaining, and repairing irrigation systems used in agricultural, commercial, and residential settings. Their duties typically include reading plans and specifications to lay out irrigation systems, installing pipes, sprinklers, pumps, and control systems, and ensuring that the systems operate efficiently to provide adequate water distribution.

They work with various materials such as PVC, polyethylene, and metal piping, and may also be involved in trenching and connecting the irrigation systems to water sources. Attention to detail and knowledge of water management principles are important, as installers help conserve water while supporting plant growth.

The role often requires physical labor, technical skills, and the ability to work outdoors in varying weather conditions.
