Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Technician

Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Technician

NY NJ Wildlife Removal, Inc. is an established wildlife-control company seeking a dependable, mechanically capable person to join our field team in Staten Island.

This is not a temporary or general labor position. We are looking for someone who wants to develop a long-term career in professional wildlife control and exclusion.

Previous wildlife-control experience is a major plus, but it is not required for the right candidate. Experience in pest control, roofing, carpentry, construction, handyman work, home repair, chimney work, maintenance or another hands-on field trade is highly valued.

What You'll Do

This is a hands-on field position working at residential and commercial properties throughout New York City and New Jersey. Work includes:

• Inspecting homes and buildings for wildlife activity and entry points
• Wildlife trapping and removal
• Wildlife exclusion and prevention work
• Sealing and repairing animal entry points
• Working with ladders and on residential roofs
• Working in attics, crawl spaces and other confined areas
• Using hand and power tools
• Performing basic construction and repair work
• Communicating professionally with homeowners and property managers
• Working outdoors in varying weather conditions

Who We're Looking For

The right candidate will be:

• Dependable and consistently on time
• Mechanically inclined and comfortable working with tools
• Comfortable working from ladders, on roofs and in attics and crawl spaces
• Comfortable working around wildlife
• Able to work independently and solve problems in the field
• Professional when working inside customers' homes and businesses
• Willing to learn wildlife behavior, trapping, exclusion and structural repair techniques
• Interested in building a long-term career rather than finding temporary work

Preferred Experience

Experience in one or more of the following is especially valuable:

• Wildlife removal or nuisance wildlife control
• Pest control
• Wildlife or pest exclusion
• Roofing
• Carpentry
• Construction
• Handyman or residential repair work

• Ability to safely use ladders, hand tools and power tools
• Ability to work outdoors throughout the year
• Ability to communicate professionally with customers
• Dependable attendance and reliable transportation to work
• Availability for a full-time field schedule, typically Tuesday through Saturday

Training & Career Growth

New technicians initially work alongside an experienced wildlife professional and receive hands-on field training using a company vehicle.

As skills, knowledge and experience develop, there is an opportunity to advance into an independent route technician position with increased responsibility, independence and earning potential.

We are looking for someone who wants to learn the business, become highly skilled in the trade and build a future with an established company.

Starting training compensation: $150 per workday.

Schedule and field hours vary based on route, workload and customer needs.

If you are dependable, good with your hands, comfortable working outdoors and interested in a skilled trade with room to grow, we encourage you to apply.
