Responsibilities include conducting daily pre-trip safety inspections (checking tires, brakes, and fluid levels), maintaining trip logs, and performing basic cleaning and refueling of vehicles. Secondary duties include operating specialized agricultural equipment used across citrus and blueberry operations, including forklifts, utility vehicles (UTVs/ATVs), and tractors. Workers will operate these vehicles to move supplies, handle harvesting equipment in the field, and transport harvested crops, plants, tools, water, and agricultural materials between fields, groves, greenhouses, and the on-site packing house. Drivers are also responsible for performing routine operator maintenance and field service upkeep on assigned harvest equipment.
