• Talk with customers on site, and document every job with photos and notes
• Keep the company vehicle and equipment in good shape
• Regularly perform humane CO₂ euthanasia of wildlife
Schedule
• Tuesday–Saturday, full-time (in busy season this may shift to Wednesday–Sunday)
• Saturdays are regular scheduled trap-check days for active trapping projects
What we're looking for
• Hands-on experience in wildlife control, trapping, pest control, or a related outdoor trade (required)
• Comfortable on roofs and extension ladders (up to 40 feet), and in attics and crawlspaces
• Able to lift up to 75 lbs and work outdoors in all weather
• Comfortable handling wildlife and regularly performing CO₂ euthanasia
• Reliable, punctual, and able to work independently

• Company vehicle provided for work use during the day (not a take-home vehicle)
• PPE and training provided (rabies pre-exposure vaccination recommended)
Not a fit if you: are afraid of heights, are uncomfortable with wildlife removal or euthanasia, need constant supervision, or want short-term work only. If you're looking for an easy indoor job, this isn't it.
