Job Description

MOVE DIRT. GROW GRASS.

Every roll of sod we sell starts with flat, well-drained ground — and that is your job. We are looking for an experienced dirtpan operator who can run a pan behind a big tractor, hold a grade, and turn a harvested field back into ground our planters and harvesters can work. If you can read grade, respect the equipment, and take pride in a field that drains right and cuts clean, we want to talk to you.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

▪ Run tractor-drawn dirt pans to cut, haul, and place soil across our production fields.

▪ Level fields to grade using laser and GPS control — fill the ruts, take down the humps, keep the water moving where it should.

▪ Restore harvested blocks so they are ready to plant, and shape ditches, ponds, pads, and farm roads.

▪ Run supporting equipment: land planes, box blades, discs, rippers, rollers, loaders.

▪ Grease it, check it, and speak up when something is wrong — you keep your machine right.

▪ Work with the harvest, planting, and irrigation crews to keep fields turning over on schedule.

WHAT YOU BRING

▪ 2+ years running dirt pans, scrapers, dozers, or graders — farm or construction, both count.

▪ The ability to hold a grade and work off stakes or a laser; GPS machine control is a plus.

▪ Good judgment about soil and moisture — you know when the ground will haul and when it will not.

▪ Solid mechanical sense and a clean, safety-first way of working.

▪ Valid driver's license; CDL a plus. 18 or older.

▪ Willingness to work long hours, Saturdays, and weather-driven schedules during the season.

WHAT WE OFFER

▪ Pay dependent on experience

▪ Year-round work

▪ Medical, Dental, and Vision plans

▪ Simple IRA Plan with match

▪ Paid Holidays
