We are looking for a reliable crew member to join our team installing and maintaining drip irrigation systems in gardens across Chicago and Evanston.
We are a very small company, and we care about our work and the people that work for us. We install and maintain above-ground, efficient drip irrigation systems in high-end residential landscapes. Prior experience working with watering systems is a plus, but not required.
Perks include a kind, easy-going boss who is willing to work with your schedule, as we can generally plan around your schedule on a weekly basis with advance notice and within typical working hours (8am-6pm).
Since we can't always guarantee full-time hours (based on weather and seasonal demand), we have found this job to be a good fit for people with a second source of income or other time commitment, such as artists, musicians, writers, service professionals, part-time students, etc.

Ability to quickly learn technical aspects of our irrigation systems to install, maintain and troubleshoot issues;
