Equipment Operator
Do you enjoy watching sports on TV? Have you ever wondered how those fields look so good? We are the company that makes it happen!
Hummer Turfgrass Systems is a family owned natural grass sports field builder celebrating our 53nd year in business.
Our growth has created the need for additional operator / laborer positions within our installation division installing sod, seeding, installing irrigation and other tasks on all types of sports fields (baseball, softball, soccer, football and golf). We work with many collegiate and professional teams to improve their playing surfaces.
Equipment includes:
Farm tractors
Skid Loaders
Mini-excavators

Loader
We offer time and a half pay daily after 8 hours and opportunities for prevailing wage work. We also pay travel time to and from the jobsites. In 2024 the average gross pay on our installation crews was $70-$90,000 during the 10 month season.
Experience Requirements
3 years experience in golf, sports turf, landscaping or a related field with experience operating equipment such as tractors, skid loaders, forklifts and the ability to back up a tractor or truck with a wagon or cart behind it.
Irrigation installation, maintenance and troubleshooting is not required, but those with that background are encouraged to apply.
Special Requirements
Candidates need to be located within driving distance of our shop in Manheim, PA or be willing to relocate. Most of our work is within 2 hours of our shop, however, there is work that we will travel outside that radius for so overnight / out of town work, as needed, is part of this job.
