Full Job Description

Mr. Critter – Wildlife Removal & Restoration

Mr. Critter is looking for an experienced, mechanically inclined Wildlife Removal / Exclusion Technician to join our growing team.

We are specifically looking for someone who already has experience in wildlife control, roofing, exterior construction, or a similar skilled trade and is comfortable working on roofs, ladders, and around residential structures.

Experienced wildlife technicians are strongly encouraged to apply. We are also interested in experienced roofers who want to learn the wildlife trapping and removal side of the business.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a hands-on position involving both wildlife removal and structural exclusion work, including:

Inspecting homes for wildlife activity and identifying entry points
Trapping and removing nuisance wildlife
Setting, baiting, and servicing wildlife traps
Installing one-way doors and other wildlife removal devices
Performing bat and wildlife exclusion work
Sealing fascia, soffits, rooflines, vents, and other potential entry points
Installing wildlife-proof vent covers, barriers, and exclusion materials
Performing repairs and preventative work on roofs and building exteriors
Working from extension ladders and on residential roofs
Communicating professionally with homeowners
Documenting work performed and explaining findings to customers

Who We’re Looking For

Ideal candidates have experience in one or more of the following:

Wildlife removal / nuisance wildlife control
Roofing
Siding, soffit, or fascia work
Exterior home repair
Carpentry or construction
Pest control with structural exclusion experience

Wildlife experience is preferred, but we are willing to train the right experienced tradesperson in trapping and wildlife behavior.

You should be comfortable diagnosing problems rather than simply being told exactly what to do. Every house and wildlife situation is different, so we’re looking for someone who can think through a problem, identify how an animal is getting into a structure, and determine the best way to solve it.

Requirements

Comfortable working on roofs and extension ladders
Strong construction/mechanical aptitude
Ability to safely use hand and power tools
Valid driver’s license and clean/reasonable driving record
Drug free and no criminal record
Reliable and punctual
Able to work independently
Comfortable working outdoors in varying weather conditions
Physically capable of lifting ladders, traps, tools, and materials
Professional appearance and communication with customers
Willingness to work around wildlife, attics, crawlspaces, and occasionally unpleasant conditions

What Makes Someone Successful at Mr. Critter

We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work.

The right person doesn’t just cover a hole and leave. They want to understand why the problem happened, where the animal got in, and how to prevent it from happening again.

Attention to detail matters. Good exclusion work requires knowledge of both wildlife behavior and how homes are constructed.

If you’re already an experienced wildlife technician, we want to hear from you.

If you’re an experienced roofer or exterior tradesperson who’s tired of doing the same roofing work every day and would like to learn a specialized trade involving wildlife, troubleshooting, trapping, and repair work, we can teach you the wildlife side.

Why Work for Mr. Critter?

We believe that if we’re going to expect professional-quality work from our technicians, we need to give them professional-quality equipment to do the job.

We invest heavily in our technicians and provide:

Quality company vehicles – We take pride in providing our technicians with professional, well-equipped vehicles that stand out from what you’ll typically find elsewhere in the industry.
All necessary tools and equipment provided – You shouldn’t have to spend your own money building a collection of tools just to do your job properly. We provide the professional tools and equipment needed to perform our work.
Hourly pay PLUS performance-based pay opportunities AND commision – We believe skilled, productive technicians should have the opportunity to earn more. In addition to hourly compensation, we offer performance-based pay that rewards quality work, productivity, and results.
Variety in your work – You won’t be doing the exact same thing every day. Jobs can range from raccoon and squirrel trapping to bat exclusions, roof work, structural repairs, inspections, and preventative wildlife-proofing.
Opportunity to develop a specialized skill set – Wildlife exclusion combines construction knowledge, problem solving, animal behavior, trapping, and customer service. Our goal is to develop technicians who understand the entire process.
Room to grow with the company – We’re looking for people who want to become valuable, highly skilled technicians and be rewarded as their abilities and responsibilities grow.

We don’t expect our technicians to produce professional results with inadequate equipment or beat-up vehicles. We want our employees to have the tools, equipment, vehicle, training, and earning opportunities they need to take pride in what they do.

To Apply

Please send us a brief description of your experience, particularly any background you have in:

Wildlife removal
Roofing
Exterior construction
Carpentry
Pest control
Home repair

Tell us what type of work you’ve done, how long you’ve been doing it, and why you’re interested in wildlife removal.

Experienced applicants are encouraged to apply even if you’ve never worked professionally in wildlife removal—we can teach trapping and wildlife techniques to someone who already knows how to work safely and competently on a home.

Pay: $25.00 - $30.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
