Service Technician

Job Description:

Technicians interact with customers and treat their properties for the control of common pests. Pest Control is a profession and requires state licensing (as with a nurse or building contractor) before any work can be performed by an individual or company. To qualify for this position, you must be 18 years of age or older, show proof that you are legally able to work in the United States, have a clean DMV report and pass a physical and drug screening. A state and federal background check will also be performed. This position consists of a 45- hour work week, Monday through Friday, from 7:30 am to 5pm. This provides a minimum of 1- hour over-time per day with 2- 15 minute breaks (paid) and a ½ hour lunch (unpaid). Saturday work when available is offered to those who want it or can be mandatory to complete a weekly route schedule. Route creation is the responsibility of the office staff. Route completion and customer satisfaction is the technician’s responsibility. Field sales are encouraged to enhance the route and commissions are paid for those sales. Compensation for this position starts at $15.00 per hour for a trainee (pre-licensing) and increases as professional licensing is obtained. A trainee can obtain their first licence, an Applicator 2/3, in approximately 90 days. Applicators start at $15.50 per hour and Branch 2 Field Representatives start at $16.00 per hour. As other licenses are added to the pest technicians portfolio (Branch 1 or/and Branch 3 Termite licenses, QAC, QAL, PCA, ACE, BCE) , wages increase as experience and knowledge increases.
