Agriculture Service Technician – Full Time
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Agriculture Service Technician to join our team. The ideal candidate will have a solid mechanical background, be comfortable working with telemetry systems, and have some electrical experience — while electrical experience is an asset, formal certification as an electrician is not required. This role requires an individual who is self-sufficient, possesses excellent critical thinking skills, and can work independently as well as part of a team. The successful candidate will be responsible for installing, maintaining, and troubleshooting irrigation systems in various agricultural settings, often in remote locations. Including but not limited to: pivot systems, pump systems, variable frequency drives, and GPS systems. Strong customer service skills are essential as you will interact directly with Delta's customers to ensure their irrigation systems are functioning optimally.
