Job description

Are you ready for an exciting career that makes a real difference in your community? Killingsworth Environmental is looking for motivated individuals to join our pest control team as Technicians. No prior experience is necessary - we provide full training!

Who We Are:

Killingsworth Environmental is much more than a pest control company. We are a team of professionals committed to providing quality pest control solutions and safe treatment options, and we want you! At Killingsworth Environmental, we have the backing of an international company, but we operate like a small business and care about our employees.

What You'll Do:

As a Pest Control Technician at Killingsworth Environmental, you'll play a crucial role in maintaining the health and safety of our client's properties by effectively managing pest infestations. We're seeking those who prioritize customers, embrace learning opportunities, and are at ease with outdoor work.

A day in the life of a Pest Control Technician:

Your day is filled with helping our customers live pest-free. You will conduct inspections of residential properties to identify pest infestations, entry points, and conducive conditions. Next, you'll create pest management plans that fit each client's needs, ensuring effective treatment and prevention strategies. You'll dig into your pest control toolkit of chemical treatments, traps, and exclusion techniques to solve pest problems. Customer satisfaction is important so you will educate clients on pest-prevention practices and provide recommendations for a pest-free environment. Documenting your service activities and keeping detailed records of treatment plans, materials used, and client interactions is a job requirement.

What You Need:

• High school diploma OR GED AND at least 3 years of driving experience AND a valid driver's license
• Previous experience in pest control, construction, plumbing, or HVAC fields is highly desirable.
• Experienced using computers and smartphones.
• Good communication and customer service skills.
• Willingness to obtain necessary pest control certifications and licenses (if not already held).

Physical Requirements:

You must be able to lift up to 25 pounds at a time comfortably, work in extreme temperatures (hot and cold), safely operate equipment, and go into large and small crawlspaces.

What We Offer:

Our company offers a great compensation package: competitive pay, paid training, ongoing professional development, retirement savings plan, paid time off, holiday pay, company vehicle, company phone, and a full benefits package (medical, dental, vision, and a FREE life insurance policy).

Join our team at Killingsworth and spend your day helping other people in your community by solving their pest challenges, building long-term relationships with those you help, and protecting their homes and businesses. Apply now to become a valuable member of our dedicated team!
