Benefits:

• Company car
• Competitive salary
• Opportunity for advancement
• Paid time off
• Training & development

What You’ll Do

This is a physically demanding, detail-intensive role focused on sealing buildings and keeping wildlife out — permanently.

• Inspecting homes and buildings to locate every wildlife entry point
• Diagnosing structural vulnerabilities and infestation causes
• Performing full-building exclusion: sealing gaps, screening vents, reinforcing rooflines and façades
• Carpentry and repair work to damaged structures
• Installing exclusion materials to a durable, professional standard
• Setting and removing wildlife traps as part of the exclusion process
• Documenting work accurately with before/after records
• Communicating findings and scope clearly with homeowners

You will spend significant time in attics, crawl spaces, on ladders and roofs, and outdoors in Florida weather. The work is hard, hot, and precise.

The Type Of Person Who Succeeds Here

The strongest exclusion technicians are methodical, skilled with their hands, detail-obsessed, patient, and mentally and physically tough. They take the time to do it right, find the gaps others miss, and take pride in work that holds up for years.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys mastering a craft, doing difficult work well, structured advancement, and being trusted with quality.

• what is expected
• how performance is measured
• what skills you need to advance

• 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.
