UKMAC currently unites 32 registered Modern Agriculture Cooperatives across 14 provinces and continues to expand its national network to strengthen Cambodia's agricultural sector.

- Operate and monitor irrigation and fertigation systems across net houses, greenhouses, and open-field production areas.
- Implement irrigation and fertilizer application schedules based on approved crop requirements and production plans.
- Prepare fertilizer stock solutions and ensure accurate mixing, dilution, and application according to technical recommendations.
- Monitor water pressure, flow rates, pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and fertilizer dosing to ensure proper system performance.
- Conduct routine inspections, cleaning, calibration, and preventive maintenance of pumps, filters, valves, pipelines, and fertigation equipment.
- Identify and troubleshoot irrigation problems, including leaks, blockages, uneven water distribution, and equipment malfunctions.
- Coordinate with Production Managers and Agronomists to adjust irrigation and fertigation operations according to crop growth stages and field conditions.
- Monitor water and fertilizer consumption to minimize waste and improve resource-use efficiency.

- Practical experience in irrigation, fertigation, or agricultural water management for 1 to 2 years as a minimum
- Good knowledge of drip irrigation, pumps, filtration systems, fertilizer injectors, and irrigation equipment.
- Basic understanding of plant nutrition, fertilizer mixing, pH, EC, and water management.
- Ability to operate, inspect, maintain, and troubleshoot irrigation and fertigation systems.
