Wildlife Removal & Exclusion Technician
NY NJ Wildlife Removal, Inc. is an established wildlife-control company seeking a dependable, mechanically inclined, hands-on person to join our field team in Staten Island.
This is not a temporary job or general labor position. We are looking for someone who wants to learn a skilled trade, develop into a highly capable wildlife-control professional, and build a long-term career with an established company.
Starting training compensation: $150 per workday.
New technicians begin by working alongside an experienced wildlife professional and receive hands-on training in the field. As your skills, knowledge, and ability to work independently develop, there is an opportunity to advance into an independent route technician position with greater responsibility, independence, and earning potential.

This is a hands-on field position involving residential and commercial properties throughout New York City and New Jersey.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Inspecting homes and buildings for wildlife activity and potential entry points
- Wildlife trapping and removal
- Wildlife exclusion and prevention
- Sealing and repairing animal entry points
- Working from ladders and on residential roofs
- Working in attics, crawl spaces, and other confined areas
- Using hand and power tools
- Performing basic construction, carpentry, and repair work
- Communicating professionally with homeowners and property managers
- Working outdoors throughout the year in varying weather conditions

- Professional and respectful when working inside customers' homes and businesses
- Willing to learn and accept instruction from experienced technicians
- Physically capable of performing the essential duties of the job
- Comfortable working outdoors throughout the year
- Interested in building a long-term career, rather than looking for temporary work

- Wildlife or pest exclusion

Training & Career Growth
New technicians initially work alongside an experienced wildlife professional and receive hands-on field training using a company vehicle.
You will learn the practical skills involved in professional wildlife control, including inspection, trapping, exclusion, animal-entry repair, basic structural repair, and customer service.
As your skills and experience develop, there is an opportunity to advance into an independent route technician position with increased responsibility, independence, and earning potential.
