Full Job Description

About Us

Flyaway Geese® is a national leader in humane goose control, using highly trained Border Collies to safely and effectively manage Canada geese on commercial properties, parks, schools, and government sites.

This is not a typical job—it’s hands-on, outdoors, and requires independence, consistency, and accountability.

Position Overview

We are seeking a highly dependable, self-motivated Wildlife Control Specialist based in the Hampton Roads, Norfolk, Virginia Beach, Suffolk, Chesapeake areas. This role involves working directly with a trained Border Collie to humanely haze and relocate geese from client properties.

You will be responsible for managing daily service routes, handling a working dog, and representing our company professionally on-site.

What You’ll Do

Conduct daily goose management visits at assigned properties
Handle and work alongside a trained Border Collie
Use humane hazing techniques to move geese off-site
Vary visit times and strategies to prevent habituation
Document all visits with photos, notes, and reports
Communicate with management and occasionally with clients
Assist with nest monitoring and egg addling (seasonal, with permits)

What We’re Looking For

Non-Negotiables:

Extremely dependable – this role requires consistency every single day
Lives in or very near or within driving distance of Hampton Roads area.
Ability to house a working Border Collie (this is required)
Comfortable working independently with minimal supervision
Physically able to walk long distances in all weather conditions
Experience riding a paddle board or willing to learn

Preferred Background:

Degree or experience in Wildlife Biology, Environmental Science, Animal Science, or related field
Experience with dog handling, livestock, or working dogs
Familiarity with wildlife behavior is a strong plus

Work Environment

Outdoor work in all conditions (heat, cold, rain)
Early mornings, evenings, and occasional weekends required
Active, fast-paced, and physically demanding

What Makes This Different

Work with high-level trained Border Collies (not basic obedience dogs)
Be part of a specialized, growing niche industry
Real responsibility and autonomy—this is not a micromanaged role
Direct impact on solving real problems for high-end clients

Compensation & Benefits

Competitive pay starting at $20.00 per hour
Performance-based growth opportunities
Ongoing training and support
Opportunity to grow within a rapidly expanding company

Important

This role is best suited for someone who:

Takes ownership of their work
Shows up every day without fail
Can think on their feet and adapt in the field
Enjoys working with dogs and being outdoors

If you’re looking for a desk job, this is not it.

How to Apply

Submit your resume along with a brief note explaining:

Your experience with animals or wildlife
Your current location
Your housing situation (ability to keep a working dog)
