- Offer description:
Workers will perform assigned duties as instructed by their supervisor in this Skill Level II position, which requires at least 3 months of experience in agricultural transport or equipment operation. All workers must possess the appropriate license(s) required by State and Federal law. Workers responsible for transporting employees must maintain a valid driver’s license and an unexpired Federal Farm Labor Contractor (FLC) or Employee (FLCE) Certificate of Registration with authorized driving privileges. Core responsibilities include the safe operation of buses or passenger vans to transport agricultural workers between employer-provided housing, various worksites, and for essential errands such as grocery shopping. Workers will also operate farm vehicles to transport crops within the farm and to local storage facilities, as well as operate forklifts and other equipment used to move supplies and harvesting equipment in the field. All transportation and equipment operation duties must be performed in compliance with applicable safety regulations and employer policies. In addition to driving duties, workers are responsible for logistics and safety tasks, including maintaining daily vehicle inspection reports and passenger logs, and ensuring field sanitation standards are met by stocking hand-washing stations and providing fresh drinking water to work crews. Workers will perform minor maintenance on harvest equipment and vehicles, including cleaning, tire changes, and fluid checks, while monitoring equipment for safe operating conditions and reporting mechanical issues to supervisors. Workers must be able to reach, bend, and lift items weighing up to 100 pounds to assist with equipment maintenance and the loading of harvest containers. When transportation or equipment operation duties are not required, workers will perform alternative work consisting of general farm labor and manual work associated with the hand-harvesting of watermelons. 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 75 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. Incidental Equipment Operation (Secondary) As an incidental duty, workers may occasionally assist with the basic operation of agricultural equipment, such as forklifts or farm transport vehicles, solely within the boundaries of the farm property. This equipment operation will be infrequent, non-specialized, and performed only after employer-provided instruction. It is not a primary function of the job. 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.
