Termite Technician Trainee

For more than 85 years, Terminix has built a reputation as one of the nation’s leading providers of termite and pest control services, safeguarding over 3 million homes and businesses against all types of pests in 47 states and 14 countries.

What is this role about?

Our Termite Control Technicians serve in a key front-line role and are the very heart of what we do. It’s all about providing outstanding service delivery of Terminix products to valued customers.

What does a "Day-in-the-Life" look like?

Equipped with a company vehicle and excellent industry training, our Termite Techs are out in the neighborhoods Terminix serves visiting residential customers and performing requested termite treatments. Here are a few specifics of what you would be doing each day:

• Verifying that job specifications are appropriate for each work order

• Preparing the job site for treatment

• Applying anti-terminate treatments to structures according to schedule, safety procedures and label instructions.

• Interacting with customers and explaining services provided

• Completing production forms documenting services provided

What do I need to be successful?

• Being a high school graduate/having a GED and a valid driver’s license are both requirements

• Prior industry experience is great, but not required. The following are much more important…·

• You are personable and enjoy interacting with customers

• You are self-motivated and have a strong work ethic

• You can effectively present information to customers one-on-one and in small groups

• You are detailed oriented and understand the importance of safety

• You have a good aptitude for basic math-- necessary for doing calculations related to service

• Of course, given our business, you should be comfortable working outside and in confined spaces like crawl spaces and attics

• For safety reasons (rebreathers have be able to seal to your face) our Termite Techs aren’t able to have facial hair

Why should I choose Terminix?

Pests don’t always live in nice places — and that’s where we do our work. But don’t worry – we’ll prepare you with all you need to do the work as safely and as comfortably as possible.

• You’ll need to be able to work both inside and outside in your local climate in company-provided weather gear.

• You’ll sometimes be working around mechanical parts, vehicles, electrical current, heights and scaffolding, fumes, dust, and chemicals, and we’ll train you how to handle all of these conditions safely.

• This is kind of a no-brainer — you’ll be around animals and insects.

• And you’ll have to be okay with working in tight, confined spaces, narrow aisles, or passageways — like you might find in crawl spaces. We work where the critters live.

• Over $40k average compensation (base + commission) during first 12 months

• $18.00 - $22.00 during training
   Actual annual potential is based on individual performance and our top Technicians earn well over $100k annually
