Job Summary

Join a growing company in an exciting industry! No two days of work is the the same!

Adapt Pest Pros is hiring a full-time Pest Control Technician to join our growing team serving the Portland metro area. This is a great opportunity for someone who's reliable, hands-on, and looking to build a long-term career in a stable, in-demand trade. No prior pest control experience is required — we provide full paid training during your first 90 days, including hands-on field training toward your Oregon pesticide applicator license. Plus, you'll drive a company vehicle home each night — no shop stops, start and end your day from your own driveway. If you're motivated, personable, and want a job where your effort translates directly into higher pay, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities

• Perform residential and commercial pest control treatments for common pests including ants, cockroaches, rats, mice, spiders, wasps, and other general pest issues
• Conduct thorough property inspections to identify pest activity, conducive conditions, and entry points
• Apply pesticides and treatments safely and in accordance with label instructions and Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) regulations
• Communicate clearly and professionally with customers about findings, treatment plans, and prevention recommendations
• Maintain accurate service records, route schedules, and documentation using our field service software
• Identify and recommend additional services or exclusion work where appropriate
• Maintain company vehicle, equipment, and supplies in clean, safe, working condition
• Follow all safety protocols and maintain proper PPE use on every job

Qualifications

• Valid driver's license with a clean driving record
• Ability to pass a background check
• Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions, and accessing crawl spaces, attics, and other tight areas
• Strong communication skills and a customer-first attitude
• Self-motivated with the ability to manage a daily route independently
• Physically able to lift 50+ lbs, climb ladders, and perform physical labor throughout the day
• Prior pest control, lawn care, HVAC, or other field service experience is a plus, but not required — we train the right candidate
• Willingness to obtain an Oregon Pesticide Operator license (training and support provided)

Pay and Schedule

• Schedule: Full-time, 40 hours/week
• Take-Home Vehicle: Start and end your day from home — drive the company vehicle directly to your first stop and back, no shop commute
• Training Period (First 90 Days): $20/hour while you complete paid, hands-on training
• After Training: $21/hour base pay, plus commission on sales
• Long-term earning potential grows as you build your route and client relationships

Benefits & Perks

• Company vehicle provided for work use, taken home each day — no extra commute to a shop or warehouse
• Paid time off (accrued)
• All tools, equipment, and uniforms provided — you show up ready to work, we equip you for the job
• Fully paid, hands-on training program during your first 90 days, including guidance toward your Oregon pesticide license
• Real opportunities for growth — as Adapt Pest Pros expands, technicians who perform well have a clear path to increased responsibility, higher commission potential, and advancement
