This is a fast-paced, high-volume field role — and that’s exactly why the right people build strong careers here.

We are looking for self-directed, organized, highly accountable individuals who can manage their own route, move quickly without cutting corners, and deliver a great customer experience at every stop.

If you prefer constant supervision, struggle to stay organized under pressure, or dislike physically demanding work, this role will not be a fit.

If you are someone who:

• Works with urgency and stays organized
• Likes managing your own day and workflow
• Communicates well with customers
• Notices details others miss
• Takes ownership without being asked
• Wants a clearly defined path to advancement

Why This Opportunity Is Different

Most companies talk about “growth opportunities.” We built a documented career path with clearly defined expectations, responsibilities, compensation, and advancement milestones.

You will always know:

• What is expected
• How performance is measured
• What skills you need to advance
• Exactly what your compensation path looks like

Career Path & Compensation

Apprentice (0–6 months): $20/hour

Wildlife Tech Level 1 (6–12 months): $21/hour + production commission + lead bonuses

Wildlife Tech Level 2 (12–36 months): $22/hour + sales commission + increased lead bonuses

Senior Technician: $23/hour + leadership incentives + annual performance bonus

Team Lead: $25/hour + leadership bonus structure

Service Manager: Salary position with full leadership compensation package

Advancement is based on performance, technical mastery, reliability, leadership, and accountability — not politics or tenure.

What You’ll Actually Do

This is a fast-paced technical field role requiring physical endurance, strong organization, and customer-facing professionalism.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Running a daily route of scheduled pest and wildlife service stops
• Inspecting homes for pest and wildlife activity
• Diagnosing entry points and infestation causes
• Applying pest treatments and basic exclusion solutions
• Setting and removing wildlife traps
• Identifying and selling recurring service and upsell opportunities
• Managing documentation and service records accurately
• Communicating findings clearly and professionally with homeowners
• Managing your own daily route, timing, and workflow

You will frequently work in attics, crawl spaces, on ladders, and outdoors in Florida weather. No two days are exactly the same.

The Type of Person Who Succeeds Here

The strongest route technicians are self-directed, organized, fast-moving, customer-focused, and mentally tough. They solve problems quickly, hit a high volume of stops without sacrificing quality, handle changing schedules calmly, and take pride in keeping customers happy.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys staying busy, working independently, structured advancement, and being trusted with responsibility.

What We’re Looking For

Required

• Clean driving record and valid driver’s license
• Comfortable working in attics, crawl spaces, and on ladders

• Ability to handle pressure, interruptions, and shifting priorities
• Ability to pass a background check and drug screening

Strongly Preferred

• Pest control, wildlife, or field service experience
• Experience managing routes or working independently
• Customer-facing sales or service experience
• Stable work history with demonstrated reliability

Work Environment & Expectations

We run a structured, high-accountability operation: high standards, fast execution, consistent follow-through, strong communication, and professionalism.

This is not a “clock in and coast” environment. We reward ownership, discipline, reliability, and initiative.

Compensation & Benefits

• $1,500 signing bonus*
• Defined advancement and compensation structure
• Performance bonuses and commissions
• Lead generation bonuses
• Company vehicle, gas card, phone, uniforms, and tools provided
