Lead Pest Control Technician duties: Lead & coordinate daily field execution (approx. 20–30% of time): support scheduling/reroutes, time-off coverage, service recovery, and escalation support for customer complaints/callbacks in partnership with the Service Manager. Lead the Team: Act as the primary point of contact for your crew day to day — assigning routes, checking in throughout the day, and stepping in to problem-solve when a job doesn't go as planned. Model the standard you expect from others through your own work. Hold the Team Accountable: Conduct ride-alongs and quality checks, and give direct, constructive feedback when service standards, safety protocols, or callback numbers slip. Follow through on corrective action — documenting concerns, setting clear expectations for improvement, and partnering with the Service Manager on next steps when performance doesn't turn around. Drive team quality and culture: reinforce service standards through new-hire training/retraining, coaching/role-playing, feedback on callbacks/quality trends, and serve as a values/leadership ambassador (motivation, rewards, recognition); assist with light facilities-related tasks as needed.
