Field Supervisor
Location: Willcox, Arizona
Reports To: Director of Farming Operations
Employment: Full-time, Salary, Exempt
Seasonality: Seasonal intensity varies by crop phase
Company Overview:
Plant Grow Harvest — PGH — is a vertically integrated specialty potato company with farming operations across multiple regions. We grow seed, fresh, and specialty potatoes and are building a farming organization defined by field discipline, strong systems, experienced agricultural judgment, and strong people leadership.
The work is seasonal, hands-on, and execution-critical. The right people for PGH take pride in getting the details right because small misses in farming can become major losses in stand, yield, quality, storability, safety, labor efficiency, or equipment uptime.
Position Overview:
The Arizona Field Supervisor is responsible for managing daily field execution and supervising field employees across PGH’s Arizona farming operations.
This role exists to strengthen PGH’s field leadership layer by ensuring that operators and crews understand expectations, perform work safely and correctly, and are inspired to own their accountabilities. The Field Supervisor is responsible for translating the farm plan into disciplined execution while also managing people, coaching performance, addressing execution gaps, and helping develop a reliable, well-trained farming team.
This position requires leadership judgment, field experience, accountability, and the ability to manage people through clear expectations, coaching, follow-up, and performance feedback. The Field Supervisor plays a key role in building a farming culture where Safety, Accountability, Growth Mindset, and the A-Team mentality are practiced every day.
Key Responsibilities:
-
Supervise field operators and crews across land preparation, seed preparation, planting, in-crop work, irrigation support, harvest, maintenance support, and post-harvest activities. Manage daily field labor execution by assigning work, setting expectations, monitoring performance, and ensuring tasks are completed safely, correctly, and on time.
-
Provide direct coaching, feedback, and correction to operators and crew members when performance, safety, quality, attendance, or execution standards are not met. Partner with the Director of Farming Operations on employee performance matters, including hiring recommendations, disciplinary input, performance reviews, promotions, transfers, and termination recommendations.
-
Ensure operators and crews understand the daily plan before work begins, including priorities, quality expectations, safety requirements, equipment needs, and handoff points.
-
Verify execution throughout the day and take corrective action when work is off plan, out of specification, unsafe, delayed, or creating risk to crop quality or equipment readiness.
-
Coordinate with agronomy, irrigation, maintenance, harvest, and farm leadership to ensure work is sequenced correctly and resources are used effectively.
-
Train and develop operators on equipment readiness, field discipline, crop handling, safety expectations, standing orders, and PGH operating standards.
-
Monitor and report daily progress, labor needs, attendance issues, blockers, crop risks, equipment needs, and performance concerns to farm leadership.
-
Support workforce planning during high-intensity planting, irrigation, harvest, and maintenance windows.
-
Ensure records, checklists, documentation, and daily handoffs are completed accurately and on time.
-
Reinforce PGH’s culture pillars through daily leadership: Safety, Accountability, Growth Mindset, and A-Team behavior.
What Success Looks Like:
-
Field teammates understand expectations and are held accountable to clear standards.
-
Daily work is completed safely, on time, in spec, and with fewer preventable mistakes.
-
Operators and crews are trained, coached, and developed over time.
-
Performance concerns are addressed early rather than ignored or discovered after damage is done.
-
Problems are escalated early, with psychological safety and direct communication. Field execution improves because the team receives consistent leadership, structure, and follow-through.
-
Records, checklists, and handoffs are completed the same day.
Farm leadership can rely on the Field Supervisor to manage daily execution and people performance without constant follow-up.
-
