Read this before you apply.

We pay $20/hour to start with no experience required — but we don't hire everyone who applies. We hire people who show up on time, take ownership of their work, and want to actually build a career instead of just collecting a paycheck.

If that's not you, save us both the time.

If it is, keep reading. This is one of the few technician jobs in Jacksonville with a written, six-level career path that tells you exactly what you'll earn at every step.

Why this job is different

Most pest control companies promise "growth opportunities" and never define what that means. We did the opposite. We built a documented career path with real titles, real timelines, and real pay at every level. You'll see it on day one.

Career path and compensation:

Apprentice (0–6 months): $20/hour

Wildlife Tech Level 1 (6–12 months): $22/hour + production commission + $20 per lead you generate

Wildlife Tech Level 2 (12–36 months): $24/hour + 7% sales commission + $30 per lead

Senior Technician (24–36 months): $26/hour + 10% sales commission + $50 per lead + $1,500 annual scorecard bonus

Team Lead: $28/hour + leadership bonus structure

Service Manager: Salary position with full leadership compensation package

You won't have to guess what you're worth. We tell you.

What you'll actually do

You'll start each morning with a check in call, then run your route solo. A typical day includes:

Inspecting homes for pest and wildlife activity

Applying pest control treatments inside and outside homes

Setting and removing wildlife traps (raccoons, squirrels, rats, possums, armadillos)

Performing exclusion work — sealing roof returns, attic vents, crawl space access points

Talking to homeowners every day, explaining what you found and what you did

Documenting your work in our system before you leave each job

The work is physical. You'll be in attics in July, under crawl spaces, and on ladders. No two days look the same.

What we're looking for

We hire for attitude over experience. We can teach pest control. We can't teach work ethic.

Required:

Clean driving record and valid driver's license

Comfortable working in attics, crawl spaces, and on ladders

Able to lift 50+ lbs and work outside in Florida weather

Self-motivated — you're alone in the field most of the day, so we need someone who runs their route without being managed

Strong communication skills — you'll be talking to homeowners every day

Pass a background check and drug screen

What gets you hired faster:

Any prior service industry experience (HVAC, plumbing, lawn care, construction, exterminating)

Customer-facing work history with strong references

A track record of staying at jobs longer than 12 months

Compensation and benefits

$20/hour starting pay with defined raises tied to skill milestones, not tenure

Production commissions and lead generation bonuses at every level past Apprentice

$1,500 annual scorecard bonus at Senior Tech and above

Bonuses for every 5-star Google review you earn

Company vehicle, gas card, phone, uniforms, and all tools provided

Health insurance reimbursement after 6 months

Paid training and certification — we cover your state license costs

Family-owned company, not a franchise — decisions get made fast and the people who perform get promoted

Who we are

Coastal Wildlife & Pest Control Services is one of the fastest-growing pest and wildlife companies in Jacksonville. We're family-owned, locally operated, and we run a tight ship. We don't tolerate sloppy work, dishonesty, or people who can't show up on time. We do reward people who own their work and treat the company like it's theirs.

If you've worked at a big national franchise and you're tired of being a number, this is a different kind of place.

How to apply

Hit Apply. We're interviewing this week and hiring fast. If your application stands out, you'll hear from us within 48 hours.

One ask before you apply: In the application or the message, tell us in one sentence why you're a good fit. We read every one. The candidates who skip this step go to the bottom of the pile.

Coastal Wildlife & Pest Control Services is an equal opportunity employer. We hire based on character, work ethic, and ability — nothing else.
