agricultural equipment operators

The worker will drive and operate a variety of agricultural equipment to assist in the cultivation, planting, maintenance, and harvesting of crops on a 4,000-acre farm producing small grains, soybeans, and corn. Duties include operating tractors, sprayers, harvesters, and other farm machinery to perform tasks such as tilling soil, applying fertilizer and pesticides, seeding, and harvesting crops. The worker will conduct pre-operation checks, monitor equipment during use, and perform routine maintenance such as cleaning, lubrication, and minor repairs to ensure safe and efficient operation. Additional responsibilities include transporting crops from fields to storage locations, assisting with loading and unloading materials, and preparing equipment for storage at the end of the season. Work is performed exclusively on the employer’s farm premises in Devils Lake, North Dakota. The position requires attention to detail, the ability to follow instructions, and a commitment to maintaining safety and productivity standards during peak planting and harvest periods. The worker may also assist with general farm labor and upkeep of the farm site as needed, depending on seasonal demand. This position is essential to completing time-sensitive field operations due to limited availability of qualified local labor during the employer’s busiest months from March through November. Employees will be provided with adequate breaks, including meal and rest periods, consistent with applicable Federal, State, and local law, during the course of each workday.
