Service Technician

Read This First

This is not a “just show up and do the job” position.

This is a performance-driven role for someone who:

• Takes ownership of their work
• Wants to earn more by performing at a higher level
• Is comfortable working independently and solving real problems

If you’re looking for something easy, predictable, or low-effort—this is not the right fit.

About the Role

As a Service Technician, you will:

• Run a daily service route at residential and commercial properties
• Diagnose and solve pest-related issues
• Communicate clearly with customers
• Represent the company independently in the field

You are not just completing tasks.

You are responsible for the outcome of every property you service

What Makes This Role Different

Most companies treat technicians like labor.

We don’t.

You are the expert on-site.

That means:

• You identify problems customers may not see
• You explain what’s happening
• You recommend the right solutions

That’s not “selling”—that’s doing the job correctly.

Avoiding that responsibility is a disservice to:

• The customer
• The company
• Yourself

Compensation

• $18–25/hr depending on experience and performance
• Uncapped Commission on services and add-ons
• Performance bonuses

Typical earnings: $45,000–$75,000+ Top performers earn more

Growth & Advancement

We promote from within and reward performance.

Technicians can progress into:

• Senior / Lead Technician roles
• Training and leadership positions
• Future management opportunities

Top performers receive:

• Priority hours year-round
• Higher earning opportunities
• Increased responsibility

What You’ll Be Measured On

• Jobs completed per day
• Quality of service
• Customer satisfaction
• Revenue per job (problem identification & solutions)
• Professionalism and communication

Ideal Backgrounds

• HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, or other home services
• Automotive technicians
• Construction or skilled trades
• Military or disciplined environments

No pest control experience required — we will train the right person.

What We’re Looking For

• Strong work ethic
• Coachability (you take feedback and improve quickly)
• Clear communication skills
• Problem-solving mindset
• Comfort interacting with customers daily
• Willingness to take ownership of results

This Role Is NOT For You If:

• You avoid accountability
• You are uncomfortable talking to customers
• You prefer low expectations and minimal responsibility
• You are not motivated by performance-based pay

Requirements

• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record
• Ability to pass background check
• Ability to lift up to 50 lbs
• Ability to work outdoors in various conditions
