Wildlife Exclusion Technician (Physical / Skilled Trade / Career Track)
Jacksonville, FL
Coastal Wildlife & Pest Services

This is not a typical pest control job.
If you want easy work, air conditioning, or to give it a try and see, stop reading now. This role is for someone who wants a real, hands-on trade, takes pride in hard work, and is looking for a long-term career with advancement, not a temporary paycheck.
The Reality of This Job (Read This Carefully)
You will:
  • Climb roofs in the Florida summer heat

  • Work in attics and crawl spaces

  • Carry materials, tools, and equipment
  • Use ladders daily
  • Perform detailed exclusion and light construction work
  • Get dirty, sweaty, and tired and still do quality work

This job is physically demanding. It is uncomfortable at times. And it is not for everyone.
But for the right person, it is incredibly rewarding.
Who This Job Is For
This role is a great fit if you:
  • Enjoy working with your hands and solving real problems
  • Like seeing clear results from your work at the end of the day
  • Take pride in doing difficult work the right way

  • Want to build a career, not bounce between jobs
  • Are dependable, coachable, and mentally tough
  • Prefer working in the field rather than behind a desk
You do not need prior wildlife experience.
You do need the right attitude, work ethic, and physical capability.
We can teach skills. We cannot teach grit.
What Youll Be Doing
As a Wildlife Exclusion Technician, youll focus on permanent solutions, not quick fixes.
Your responsibilities include:
  • Inspecting homes and businesses for wildlife activity and structural entry points
  • Performing professional wildlife exclusion work (roof returns, soffits, vents, crawl spaces, attics, etc.)
  • Using hand and power tools to seal and fortify structures
  • Setting and removing wildlife traps as needed
  • Educating homeowners on what was done and how to prevent future issues
  • Following a structured daily schedule prepared by our office
  • Communicating job updates clearly through our systems
  • Participating in a rotating on-call schedule (typically one weekend per month)
Most days youll work independently, but youre never on an island our team supports you.
Physical & Practical Requirements (Non-Negotiable)
To be successful in this role, you must:
  • Be comfortable working on roofs, ladders, in attics, and crawl spaces
  • Be able to lift and carry 50+ lbs repeatedly

  • Work safely in heat, humidity, and confined spaces
  • Have a valid drivers license and clean driving record
  • Follow safety procedures and company standards consistently
  • Communicate professionally with customers and teammates
If any of the above is a dealbreaker, this is not the right role and thats okay.
Pay, Benefits & Growth
We take care of people who take care of the job.
What we offer:

  • Competitive pay based on experience and performance
  • Company vehicle, cell phone, and most tools provided
  • Health insurance reimbursement up to $200/month after 6 months
  • Paid holidays and vacation time
  • Performance incentives and bonuses (including 5-star review bonuses)
  • Extra income opportunities through emergency calls and weekend pickups
  • Ongoing paid training and skill development
  • Clear advancement paths into Senior Technician, Lead Technician, and Leadership roles

  • Quarterly team outings and events
This company is growing. People who perform well and want more responsibility move up.
