Summary
Pest Ex provide specialist pest management services to residential and commercial clients across the whole of the North East region. Due to our ongoing growth and expansion within both of these markets, we currently have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Pest Control Technician to join us on a permanent, full-time contract.
Job Purpose
You will be part of a fun, hard-working team, helping to deliver on our target of becoming the North East’s first choice for pest control, by providing a first-class service that is unrivalled in quality. Your duties will include visiting client sites to undertake surveys, pest management visits and proofing works, following best practice in pest control and procedures for safe working, providing advice and guidance to clients, and upselling our products and services.
This is a customer‑facing role and you will be visiting a variety of sites; therefore, customer service and problem-solving skills are essential. You must be approachable and adaptable, as no two days are the same. As you will be required to work at height at times, as well as independently, a safety-conscious attitude is imperative.
Previous experience would be preferable, however, a candidate with the right attitude and work ethic would be provided with training, working alongside our lead technician.
Essential requirements
Minimum RSPH Level 2 Pest Control or equivalent
Excellent interpersonal and customer service skills
Full UK driving licence (no points preferably)
Basic numeracy, literacy and IT skills
Friendly and positive attitude
Able to climb ladders, bend, lift heavy equipment, crawl in tight spaces etc.
Able to work independently, and as part of a team
Comfortable with travelling and working outdoors
Willing to work overtime, including occasional weekends and (rarely) nights
Non-essential but advantageous
Any of the following certificates: BPCA Advanced Technician in Pest Management, CSCS, Working at Height, Asbestos Awareness, Ladder Safety, Manual Handling, COSHH, RSPH Level 2 Use of Aluminium Phosphides, etc.
What we offer in return:
20 days holiday per annum + bank holidays + holiday scheme
Company pension
Uncapped overtime + Quarterly bonus scheme (OTE £32-35k)
Fully-funded training with accredited bodies
Company vehicle and fuel card
Uniform and all PPE
Personal development
If this sounds like the role for you, please apply by submitting your CV and cover letter to FAO Chloe Cooke-Winsor (Business Support Team Lead).
