Job description

Insight Pest Solutions MEL Pty Ltd. – Sydney CBD NSW

No experience needed. Start a real career with a growing national business.

Insight Pest Solutions is expanding across Australia, and we're now bringing that growth to Sydney. We're looking for a Trainee Pest Technician to join us as a founding member of our brand new Sydney branch, launching in September.

You don't need any pest control experience. What you do need is a good attitude, a willingness to learn, and a real interest in building a career in pest control. We'll teach you everything else and help you get qualified.

This is a genuine opportunity to build a long-term career with a national business backed by Canada's largest residential pest control provider, and to help shape what our Sydney team becomes.

What makes us different?

We'll train you properly. You'll learn on the job alongside our experienced technicians, and we'll support you through your training and licensing. Once you're a qualified general pest technician, Insight will also pay for you to become termite qualified. That opens the door to termite inspection work, upsell commission, and a bigger role in the branch as it grows.

You won't be driving all over Sydney chasing scattered jobs. We're a door-to-door sales company, and we target specific areas of Sydney at a time, which means your jobs each day are close together. No more wasting hours in the car each morning and afternoon.

We want our people set up with the best from the start. That includes new vehicles, tools and uniforms, with no hand-me-downs here.

We also believe in genuine work-life balance. Unlike most companies in this industry, weekend work won't be expected of you as standard. From time to time we may ask if you can help out on a weekend, and we'd really appreciate your support when you can give it, but it's the exception, not the rule.

Looking for a career where you'll be recognised and have room to grow? Insight has already launched successfully in Melbourne and Brisbane, and now you can help shape Sydney from day one. You'll work for a global company, but with a close-knit team that cares about you. You won't just be a number here.

About the Role

You’ll start by working alongside our qualified technicians, learning how to deliver high-quality pest control services to residential customers. As your skills and qualifications grow, you’ll take on more responsibility and work more independently. Your day will include:

Learning to inspect homes for pest activity, entry points and conditions that attract pests

Learning to apply safe, effective pest treatments using approved products and methods

Supporting our technicians and the wider branch, especially during the Sydney launch

Providing friendly, professional service and clear communication to customers

Using mobile and reporting tools to record findings and treatments

Following WHS, chemical handling and environmental guidelines at all times

Working in roof voids, subfloors, around the outside of homes and in outdoor areas

Looking after equipment, PPE and vehicle stock

Safely lifting and carrying equipment (15kg+)

Representing Insight professionally in the field

No two days are the same. You'll be solving problems, meeting customers and learning something new every day, with an experienced team behind you.

What's in it for you

Paid training while you learn, with a competitive hourly rate plus overtime

Support to get your Pest Management Technician licence

A company-funded pathway to becoming termite qualified, with access to termite inspection work and upsell commission once qualified

Zone-based scheduling, so your jobs stay close together

Vehicle, fuel card, tools and uniform provided

Stable full-time hours with opportunities for overtime

Genuine work-life balance, with weekends not expected as standard

Performance incentives

Clear career progression. We promote from within, and Sydney is a brand new branch with real room to grow

A supportive, team-focused environment with ongoing mentoring

About You

You don't need any pest control skills. What we're looking for is:

A good attitude and a willingness to learn

Good communication skills and confidence talking with customers

Good personal presentation

An eagerness to build a long-term career in pest control

Reliability, motivation and a strong work ethic

Willingness to work in roof voids, subfloors and outdoor environments

The rest, we'll teach you.

Why Insight?

Insight Pest Solutions is backed by Canada's largest residential pest control company, and we're bringing that scale, experience and proven success to Australia. Having already launched in Melbourne and Brisbane, Sydney is our next step. Our goal is simple: to become Australia's leading residential pest control provider.
