Full job description

Position Overview

DMR Technologies is seeking dependable, hardworking Independent Field Tenders to support aerial drone spray operations across agricultural fields. This is a physically active, outdoor position ideal for someone who enjoys hands-on work, doesn't mind Louisiana heat, and takes pride in keeping operations running safely and efficiently.

Field Tenders work directly with an independent DMR-approved spray applicator by helping transport equipment, mix and refill spray solutions, change batteries, maintain water supply, and keep the operation moving throughout the day.

This is not a W-2 position. Field Tenders operate as independent contractors (1099) under one of DMR's approved independent spray operators.

Responsibilities

  • Assist with loading and unloading agricultural spray drones and support equipment
  • Mix, measure, and refill water, chemicals, and spray tanks following all label instructions and safety procedures
  • Change batteries and manage charging cycles throughout the day
  • Set up and break down field operations
  • Help transport equipment between job sites
  • Maintain clean, organized work areas and trailers
  • Monitor equipment and report maintenance issues
  • Follow all FAA, EPA, and agricultural safety requirements

Preferred Qualifications

  • Strong work ethic with a positive attitude
  • Comfortable working outdoors for extended periods in heat, humidity, dust, and uneven terrain
  • Able to lift 75+ pounds repeatedly throughout the day
  • Reliable transportation
  • Valid driver's license
  • Mechanically inclined is a plus
  • Agricultural, construction, landscaping, equipment operation, military, or industrial experience preferred—but not required

Physical Requirements

This position regularly requires:

  • Standing, walking, bending, kneeling, and climbing
  • Lifting and moving equipment weighing up to 75 pounds
  • Working outdoors in varying weather conditions
  • Working around water tanks, pumps, batteries, and agricultural chemicals while utilizing required PPE

What Makes Someone Successful

The best Field Tenders are:

  • Reliable—you show up early and ready to work.
  • Safety-focused—you understand that attention to detail matters.
  • Team players—you keep the operation moving without being asked.
  • Physically capable—you enjoy active work instead of sitting behind a desk.
  • Professional—you represent yourself well around customers and fellow contractors.

Independent Contractor Notice

This opportunity is offered through a DMR-approved independent spray applicator. Individuals selected for this role will perform services as independent contractors (1099) and are not employees of DMR Technologies. Compensation, scheduling, and work assignments are determined by the independent applicator with whom the contractor engages.
