Pest Ex provide specialist pest management services to residential and commercial clients across the whole of the North East region. Due to our ongoing growth and expansion within both of these markets, we currently have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Pest Control Technician to join us on a permanent, full-time contract.
Job Purpose
You will be part of a fun, hard-working team, helping to deliver on our target of becoming the North East’s first choice for pest control, by providing a first-class service that is unrivalled in quality.

This is a customer‑facing role and you will be visiting a variety of sites; therefore, customer service and problem-solving skills are essential. You must be approachable and adaptable, as no two days are the same. As you will be required to work at height at times, as well as independently, a safety-conscious attitude is imperative.
