    Read This Before You Apply

    This is demanding, hands-on craftsmanship work — and that's exactly why the right people build strong careers here.

    We are looking for skilled, detail-obsessed, highly accountable individuals who take pride in sealing a building right the first time, doing quality repair and exclusion work, and operating to a high standard on every job.

    If you rush your work, cut corners to finish faster, or dislike difficult physical labor in tight spaces, this role will not be a fit.

    If you are someone who:

    takes pride in precise, durable, high-quality work

    is good with your hands and enjoys building and repairing

    notices the small gaps and details others miss

    works methodically and gets it right the first time

    takes ownership without being asked

    and wants a clearly defined path to advancement

    …keep reading.

    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

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

    Your responsibilities will include:

    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 We're Looking For

    Required

    Clean driving record and valid driver's license

    Comfortable working in attics, crawl spaces, on ladders, and on roofs

    Ability to lift 50+ lbs and work outdoors year-round

    Strong personal accountability and work ethic

    Ability to work independently without constant oversight

    Strong attention to detail and documentation

    Clear, direct communication skills

    Pass background check and drug screening

    Strongly Preferred

    Construction, carpentry, roofing, or repair/remodel experience

    Pest control, wildlife, HVAC, or plumbing field experience

    Experience with exclusion, sealing, or weatherproofing work

    Stable work history with demonstrated reliability

    Work Environment & Expectations

    We run a structured, high-accountability operation: high standards, quality-first execution, consistent follow-through, strong communication, and professionalism. This is not a "clock in and coast" environment. We reward craftsmanship, discipline, reliability, and initiative.

    Compensation & Benefits

    Defined advancement and compensation structure

    Performance bonuses and commissions

    Lead generation bonuses

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

    Paid licensing and training

    Health insurance reimbursement after 6 months

    Leadership growth opportunities
