  • Self-motivated with the ability to manage a daily route independently
  • Physically able to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and perform physical labor throughout the day
  • Prior pest control, lawn care, HVAC, or other field service experience is a plus, but not required — we train the right candidate
  • Willingness to obtain an Oregon Pesticide Applicator license (training and support provided)

Pay and Schedule

  • Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week
  • Take-Home Vehicle: Start and end your day from home — drive the company vehicle directly to your first stop and back, no shop commute
  • Training Period (First 90 Days): $20/hour while you complete paid, hands-on training
  • After Training: $21/hour base pay, plus commission on sales
  • Long-term earning potential grows as you build your route and client relationships
