Irrigation Specialist

As an irrigation specialist, you design and manage the systems that deliver water to crops, landscapes, and green spaces efficiently. You figure out how much water plants need, plan where pipes, sprinklers, and drip lines should go, and use technology like sensors and timers to avoid wasting water or energy. On farms you help growers get better yields while conserving a precious resource, and on golf courses, parks, or commercial properties you keep landscapes healthy. Your days mix office work designing systems with time out in the field installing, inspecting, and fixing equipment, often working with farmers, landscapers, and engineers.
