Sod Farm Laborers
About The Position
Okie Staffing is seeking approximately 15 dependable Sod Farm Laborers for physically demanding outdoor work at harvesting locations and project sites in Claremore, Oklahoma. The role is a full-time temporary assignment running from December 1 through March 2027. Starting pay is $16 per hour, with potential for higher pay based on experience and performance. Employees who demonstrate reliability, punctuality, and a strong work ethic may have opportunities for long-term employment, advancement, and increased pay. The schedule is Monday through Friday, starting at 6:30 AM, but work is weather dependent. Winter weather may cause workdays to be canceled or shortened. Saturday work is mandatory when scheduled to make up for weekdays lost to weather, and employees should be prepared for overtime and weekend work as production needs require. Employees need reliable transportation; carpooling is not recommended because crews may work at different locations and finish at different times. This position requires regular physical labor, including lifting 50 pounds and repeatedly stooping, bending, walking, and standing throughout the day. Employees must be able to work outdoors in changing weather, follow directions, work independently with little supervision, and maintain a strong focus on safety and quality. Applicants must pass a 5-panel drug screen and a background check. Candidates with violent or sexual offenses are not eligible. Medical marijuana/OMMA use is not permitted for this position due to federal regulations. Employees must wear long pants and closed-toe shoes and should bring enough food and drinks for the workday, as crews may travel directly to remote project sites and may not leave once work begins.
