Job Description
POSITION SUMMARY
The Wildlife Repair Technician is responsible for performing humane wildlife removal, structural exclusion, and property repair work that protects customers' homes and businesses from wildlife intrusion. This role enters Network Pest Control at the Apprentice level — regardless of prior experience — because our methods, materials, standards, and customer experience expectations are specific to how we operate. Prior experience in construction, maintenance, pest control, or wildlife is valued and will accelerate progression through our career levels; it does not bypass the foundational training and onboarding process. Technicians work in the field daily, represent Network Pest Control directly with customers, and are expected to uphold quality, safety, and documentation standards on every job. CompanyCam photo documentation and completion of job checklists are non-negotiable requirements at every level. Career progression from Apprentice through Senior Wildlife Technician and beyond is defined by the NPC Wildlife Repair Division Employee Maturity Model. All technicians enter at Level 1. Advancement is earned through demonstrated performance — not time in role.
