Lead Irrigation Technician - Leadership Track

Conserva Irrigation of Traverse Mountain • Lehi, UT

5d • $48,000 - $55,000

About The Position

This is not a typical technician role.

We are looking for a senior irrigation professional who wants to grow into field leadership. You will start as our Lead Irrigation Technician — the go-to person in the field for complex diagnostics, technician support, and process improvement. From there, the path leads directly to Operations Manager as the company grows.

If you are a skilled irrigation tech who is tired of just running calls and wants to help lead a team, this was built for you.

Requirements

• 3+ years of irrigation technician experience (residential and/or commercial)
• Strong system troubleshooting skills — you can diagnose what others cannot
• Experience with or interest in mentoring less experienced technicians
• Professional, reliable, and safety-conscious on the job

Nice To Haves

• Experience with Hydrawise or similar smart irrigation controllers
• Background working with irrigation supply houses or multi-tech field operations
• Interest in eventually moving into an operations or management role
• The right person is not just a great tech — they are someone who naturally helps their teammates succeed and takes pride in seeing the whole team perform well.

Responsibilities

• 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
• 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

Benefits

• Conservation focus — we help homeowners and businesses save water while keeping their landscapes healthy. It is meaningful work.
• Growth path — this role is designed to evolve. The Operations Manager title is not a carrot; it is the plan.
• Small, professional team — four technicians, a supportive admin, and an owner who is invested in building a leadership structure that does not depend on him.
• Stable and growing — we have been operating since 2020 and are on a path to $500K+ in annual revenue.
