• Offer description:

  Workers will perform assign duties as instructed by their supervisor., Harvesting Watermelon: Workers will perform manual labor to harvest watermelons. This includes walking through field rows, identifying ripeness, and using a small knife to hand-cut the fruit from the vine. Workers will turn watermelons over to prepare for loading. The Pitching/Loading Process: Workers will work in teams to hand-harvest watermelons weighing between 20 and 60 lbs. The process involves bending over, lifting the watermelon from the ground, and "pitching" (tossing) the watermelon to a teammate in a coordinated line. The fruit is passed from worker to worker until it reaches the person inside the bus/trailer, who will carefully stack the fruit on the floor. On-Farm Packing (Primary Production): When the transport vehicle is full, it will be moved to the on-farm packing house. Workers will manually unload watermelons onto a conveyor belt. Inside the packing facility—which processes more than 50% of the employer’s own crop—workers will sort the fruit by size, apply labels, and pack them into bins or containers for shipment. General Maintenance & Incidental Tasks: During periods of inclement weather or when harvesting is not at peak, workers may perform general farm maintenance. This includes: Clearing debris, weeds, and vines from fields pulling and disposing of plastic mulch or ground covers; Sprouting, pruning, and painting trees. General cleaning and incidental repair of farm structures and employer-provided worker housing. Maintenance of irrigation lines. Workers will perform assign duties as instructed by their supervisor. Workers must have the correct type of license required by State and Federals laws, and drivers responsible for transporting workers will be required to have a valid and unexpired Federal Farm Labor Contractor or Federal Farm Labor Contractor Employee Registration with driving authorization and a driver’s license. Will be responsible for operating the vehicles used to move crops on the farm. Must be able to safely operate the buses that are used to transport workers to and from work sites. Operate forklifts and equipment used to move supplies and harvesting equipment in the field. Maintain harvest equipment. Must be able to reach, bend and lift items weighing 100 pounds. The worker must be able to work outside for at least 6 hours a day in all kinds of weather (including heat, cold, and light rain) and be in possession of the requisite physical strength and endurance to work quickly and skillfully with their hands repeatedly at a sustained pace to meet the production standards demonstrated by the supervisor. The employer will provide all necessary tools and equipment at no charge to the worker. However, the employer may deduct the reasonable cost of damages or replacement of such tools if the loss or repair results from the worker's willful neglect or gross negligence; such deductions will only occur after the damage has taken place and after obtaining the employee's written authorization. At its sole discretion, the employer may pay a higher wage rate than the stated AEWR to any worker based on individual performance, specialized experience, or tenure with the operation. This voluntary higher pay is intended to reward performance and does not alter the fundamental entry-level nature of the job requirements.
