Job Description

Irrigation Service Technician

Elkhorn Lawn Care · Gretna, NE · Full-time · Year-round · $18–$35/hr · Hiring 2–3 technicians

This isn't a seasonal job.

We're building an irrigation team that works year-round — service in the summer, winterization routes in the fall, snow operations in the winter. If you're tired of getting laid off every October, this is the team you've been looking for.

Your paycheck reflects your output.

We offer a performance-based commission and bonus structure tied to production and sales goals. The best technicians shouldn't be paid like average ones — and at ELC, they aren't.

Who we are

Elkhorn Lawn Care is a commercial landscaping company operating across six divisions — and we run differently than most. Our technicians use GPS-tracked trucks, Aspire digital job scheduling, client portals, and field reporting tools. You'll always know what you're doing, where you're going, and what's expected — because our systems tell you before anyone has to call you. We're building a team that takes pride in showing up equipped and professional.

What you'll do

• Service, troubleshoot, and repair commercial irrigation systems
• Hit clear, season-specific productivity targets — service routes average 8 stops/day, winterization routes reach 20–25 stops/day, with daily revenue goals ranging from $1,650–$2,500 depending on season
• Use your iPad to clock in/out of every job, document work, and submit property issues through Aspire
• Flag maintenance, hardscape, and softscape issues on every property you visit — your eyes in the field generate revenue for the whole company
• Transition into the snow operations team in winter — no seasonal layoff
• Build client trust — you'll be their point of contact in the field
• Earn commission and bonuses when you hit production and sales targets

You're a fit if you

• Show up every day and take pride in being someone the team can count on
• Learn fast and take ownership of your work without waiting to be told what to do next
• Are motivated by production — we set clear targets and give you the tools to hit them
• Embrace technology — we run on digital systems and need people who are comfortable with them
• Want to earn more when you produce more
• Want to build a career in a company that's growing, not just fill a summer slot
• Are willing to learn, accept coaching, and execute our systems consistently — we don't hire lone wolves
