Description

Seasonal Wildlife Technician


Like working outside, solving problems, and never having two days look the same? As a Seasonal Wildlife Technician, you'll help homeowners and businesses handle nuisance wildlife the right way. One stop might be a raccoon in an attic, the next a bat exclusion on a three-story roof.

What you'll do

  • Drive a company vehicle to client sites across the area
  • Assist with humane, code-compliant nuisance wildlife solutions
  • Inspect roofs, attics, crawl spaces, and entry points
  • Keep your truck stocked and your work documented
  • Represent Varment Guard professionally with every customer


What we're looking for

  • High school diploma or equivalent
  • Valid driver's license and clean driving record
  • Comfortable on ladders, rooftops, and in tight spaces
  • Able to lift up to 75 lbs regularly (occasionally up to 100)
  • Willing to obtain ODNR Commercial Nuisance Wild Animal Control Operator Certification (we'll support you)
  • Wildlife degree or route/customer service experience is a plus


Why this role Solid $20/hour pay, real hands-on training, a clear path to full-time for the right person, and a team that's been doing this work for over 100 years. If you want a season that could turn into a career, this is it.
