• Offer description:

  Workers will perform assigned duties as instructed by their supervisor. Workers will operate specialized agricultural equipment used for sweet potato crops, including forklifts, utility vehicles, and tractors. Workers will be responsible for operating these vehicles to move supplies, handling harvesting equipment in the field, and transporting harvested crops, plants, tools, water, and other agricultural materials between the fields and the on-site packing house. Responsibilities also include performing routine operator maintenance and field service upkeep on the harvest equipment. Must have the correct type of license required by State and Federal laws. Workers assigned to operate agricultural equipment or motor vehicles must be at least 18 years of age. As an incidental duty performed strictly at the beginning and end of the workday, or as occasionally directed by the supervisor, workers who possess the required authorization may safely operate the buses or vans used to transport the harvesting crew to and from designated work sites. Drivers responsible for transporting workers on public roads will be required to have a valid and unexpired Federal Farm Labor Contractor or Federal Farm Labor Contractor Employee Registration with driving authorization. A driver's license issued by another country that is recognized under North Carolina law may satisfy public road driving requirements. Equipment operation and worker transportation are incidental to the primary field operations and will be performed strictly under supervisor direction. Must be able to reach, bend and lift items weighing 100 pounds. The alternative work if needed will be to assist with the manual harvesting of the sweet potato crop. During hand harvesting, workers will pick sweet potatoes directly from the ground and sort them into five-gallon buckets according to three distinct size and quality classes: Number 1s (large potatoes), Canners (medium or small potatoes, including those that are broken, cracked, or unshaped), and Seed (small potatoes). Workers will first harvest Number 1s into their bucket. Once the bucket is full, the worker will carry it to the flatbed truck trailer in the field and either unload the potatoes directly into the plastic, wood, or cardboard bin boxes or hand the bucket to a worker stationed on the truck. A small tally ticket will be issued for each dumped bucket to keep an accurate total at the end of each day. The worker will then return to the picking area to harvest Canners, following the same dumping and ticketing process, before repeating the workflow for Seed potatoes. Workers assigned to unload buckets will stand inside or beside the bin boxes on the trailer, receive full buckets from harvesting crew members, and carefully empty the harvested sweet potatoes into the bins. At the end of each workday, workers may be assigned routine cleaning and sanitation of harvest buckets, hydration stations, coolers, hand tools, and similar equipment used during harvesting. Workers must perform assigned duties efficiently and maintain the pace of the harvesting crew while producing work that meets the employer's quality standards.
