Landscape Irrigation Systems Specialist

Job Description

Landscape Irrigation Systems Specialist — Kalispell, MT

Picture your morning in the Flathead Valley: the sun is just clearing the peaks, and you’re starting your first site visit. You walk a property line with a homeowner, open a valve box, and listen for the quiet click of a healthy solenoid. By mid-morning you’ve traced a low-pressure issue to a hidden leak, swapped a nozzle, reprogrammed a controller for cooler spring temps, and left the lawn set to thrive—without wasting a drop.

• Install and commission complete irrigation systems—sprinkler and drip—so landscapes get targeted, efficient coverage from day one.
• Fine-tune performance with seasonal controller programming, zone balancing, and smart adjustments for water savings.
• Diagnose and repair issues fast: broken heads, clogged lines, wiring faults, valves, and backflow hiccups.
• Team up with landscape crews to design practical layouts and integrate irrigation into new and existing projects.
• Guide clients through system operation and care, addressing questions with clear, friendly support.
• Document work thoroughly—installs, service calls, parts used, and maintenance schedules—to keep projects on track.
• Keep your skills sharp by tracking industry trends, emerging tech, and best practices in water management.

• High school diploma or equivalent; irrigation-related certifications are a plus.
• Hands-on experience installing and maintaining irrigation systems.
• Solid understanding of irrigation principles and water management strategies.
• Problem-solver with strong troubleshooting instincts.
• Clear communicator who works well with customers and teammates.
• Comfort working independently and collaborating as part of a crew.
• Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
• Ready to work outdoors in all kinds of Montana weather.

If you love working outside, solving practical challenges, and helping landscapes look their best in Kalispell, this role lets you make a visible impact every day—one smartly watered zone at a time.
