Charlotte, NC | Guaranteed training pay with performance-based route pay after training | Typical annual earnings of $40,000 to $50,000+, with additional upside for strong route performance | Full-Time | Monday through Friday
Carolina Turf and Mosquito is growing, and we are looking for the right person to join our team.
We are a local, family-owned company serving residential customers throughout the Charlotte area. This is not a mowing position. Our technicians perform professional lawn treatments and mosquito control services on assigned routes.
This is a strong opportunity for an experienced outdoor-service professional who is dependable, detail-oriented, and wants to grow into an independent, high-performing route technician.
Prior professional outdoor-service experience is required. This may include lawn care, turf treatment, pest control, landscaping, golf-course maintenance, route service, outdoor property maintenance, or similar hands-on field work.
Applicants with direct pesticide application, lawn treatment, pest control, or route service experience will receive priority consideration.
Why This Position Is Different
This is not just another job where hard work goes unnoticed.
You will start with guaranteed hourly training pay while learning the role. After training, technicians move into a performance-based route pay structure with a guaranteed hourly floor and route revenue upside.
Strong technicians who complete routes efficiently, communicate well, and maintain quality standards have the opportunity to increase their earnings over time.
If you are motivated, dependable, and take pride in doing things the right way, there is real opportunity to grow with Carolina Turf and Mosquito.
