A Pest Control Company Like No Other

We are the fastest growing large pest control company in the UK, and part of the Tyro UK Group. That growth is why we are hiring across eight different roles at once, in all major locations across the UK - and why the person who joins as a trainee this year is running their own patch the next.

People do not tend to leave. Our retention is high and we are quietly proud of it, because in this trade that is unusual and it is the one number a job advert cannot fake. Ask us about it at interview.

You will be based from home with a company van, a phone and a fuel card. No qualifications are needed for most of our roles and all training is provided, including the RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 Award in Pest Management where the role calls for it. What we cannot train is turning up, being straight with people and not minding getting your hands dirty.

What You Actually Get

Uncapped commission and overtimeOur scheme is genuinely uncapped. On-target earnings of GBP 40,000 and above are achievable on top of your base salary.
28 days holiday, taken when you wantNo fixed bank holidays. Your 28 days are yours to book whenever suits you, not dictated by the calendar.
Your birthday offEvery year, on top of your holiday. You should not be servicing a fly killer on your birthday.
Christmas bonusPaid every year. We are also shut on Christmas Day, which is the one day of the year nobody is on call.
Extra holiday for good attendanceGo the year without sickness absence and you earn additional holiday days. Reliability is rewarded rather than just expected.
Company van, phone and fuel cardAll provided from day one. You work from home and go straight to your first job, so there is no depot commute.
Flexible hours and shift patternsGenuinely flexible. Shift pattern affects pay, and we will talk honestly about which one suits your life.
Ongoing training and a pensionTraining does not stop once you are qualified, and we cross-train across every role we recruit for.

Where We Are Hiring - 30 Technicians Across Nine Regions

You will be based from home with a company van, so there is no depot commute. You go straight to your first job of the day.

The Roles We Are Recruiting For

Eight roles, open right now, in all nine regions. We cross-train across every one of them, so the role you join in is not the role you are stuck in - and for most of them, no previous experience is needed at all.

Trainee Pest Control Technician

£27,000 - £32,000No experience needed

No qualifications required and all training provided. The way in for practical people who like solving problems and dealing with the public. You will start alongside qualified technicians and work towards your own RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 while you earn.

Apply for this role →

Experienced Pest Control Technician

£30,000 - £38,000Experience needed

Pest control experience needed, but no formal qualifications - if you can do the work we will get you certified. Mixed residential and commercial, with genuine progression into complex commercial and specialist treatments.

Apply for this role →

Heat Treatment Technician

£30,000 - £40,000No experience needed

Full training given. Heat treatment is the chemical-free route for bed bugs and stored product pests. You run the equipment, monitor the temperature profile across a property and see a job through from set-up to sign-off.

Apply for this role →

Bird Control Technician

£30,000 - £35,000No experience needed

Proofing, netting, spiking and deterrent systems on commercial and residential buildings. Work at height is a core part of the role, and the training that goes with it is provided.

Apply for this role →

Solar Panel Proofing Installer

£30,000 - £35,000No experience needed

Pigeons nesting under solar arrays is one of the fastest-growing problems we deal with. You fit proofing systems around panels on domestic and commercial roofs, protecting both the building and the array.

Apply for this role →

Roofer

£30,000 - £35,000Trade experience

Repair and proofing work on domestic and commercial roofs, often alongside our bird control and insulation teams. Steady year-round work rather than weather-dependent contracts.

Apply for this role →

Loft Insulation Installer

£30,000 - £35,000No experience needed

Stripping contaminated insulation and installing replacement, usually after a rodent or bird infestation has been cleared. Physical work, and one of the jobs where the customer sees the difference immediately.

Apply for this role →

Clearance Operative

£30,000 - £35,000No experience needed

Clearance and decontamination work: properties that need stripping back and making safe before anything else can happen. Not for everyone, and the people who take to it tend to stay. Full training and all protective equipment provided.

Apply for this role →

Hours are 40 to 45 a week depending on the shift pattern, and the shift pattern affects the pay, which is why the roles show a range rather than a single figure.

Every salary above is BASE pay. On-target earnings of £40,000 and above are achievable on top through our uncapped commission and overtime scheme. That is earnings, not basic - we would rather be plain about which number is which than have anyone work it out later.

One Thing You Must Have

A full UK driving licence. Please do not apply without one. Every field role is home-based with a company van, so it is not something we can work around. Two years of driving experience is preferred.

Beyond that we are looking for people who are self-motivated, well organised, reliable and honest, who communicate clearly and are confident with customers at every level, and who have no problem getting their hands dirty. The work includes commercial and domestic pest control, fly killer servicing and pest proofing.

You would be joining at the right time

We are the fastest growing large pest control company in the UK, part of the Tyro UK Group, and family-run since 2010. That growth is why we are hiring eight roles at once rather than backfilling one.

People do not tend to leave. Our retention is high and it is the number we are proudest of, because in this trade it is unusual and it is the one thing a job advert cannot fake. Ask us about it at interview - we would rather you did.

If you are practical, straight with people and willing to learn, we will train you the rest of the way. We would love to have you on board.

  • A practical, problem-solving mindset
  • Straight with customers at every level

Pest Control Careers - Common Questions

For practical problem-solvers, yes. It is recession-resilient, varied (no two call-outs are alike), and progression is real - trainees who qualify move up to complex commercial work, specialist treatments and team-leading roles. JG has been family-run since 2010 and keeps a long-tenured team, which says more than any brochure.
Not for trainee technician roles. We provide full training, including the RSPH (BPCA) Level 2 Award in Pest Management, the industry-standard qualification our technicians hold. A driving licence is essential for field roles; the problem-solving mindset matters more than your CV.
Eight roles right now, across all major UK locations: trainee pest control technician, experienced pest control technician, heat treatment technician, bird control technician, solar panel proofing installer, roofer, loft insulation installer and clearance operative. We cross-train across all of them, and most need no previous experience.
Trainee pest control technician is GBP 27,000 to GBP 32,000 and experienced technician GBP 30,000 to GBP 38,000, both depending on shift pattern. Heat treatment technician is GBP 30,000 to GBP 40,000, and the trade roles are GBP 30,000 to GBP 35,000. Those are BASE salaries. On-target earnings of GBP 40,000 and above are achievable on top through uncapped commission and overtime - that is earnings rather than basic pay. Hours are 40 to 45 a week depending on the shift pattern.
Uncapped commission and overtime, 28 days holiday you can take whenever you like with no fixed bank holidays, your birthday off every year, a Christmas bonus, extra holiday days earned for going the year without sickness absence, a company van, phone and fuel card, flexible shift patterns, ongoing training and a pension scheme. You are based from home, so there is no depot commute.
Yes, and it is the one thing we cannot be flexible on. Every field role is home-based with a company van, so a full UK driving licence is essential - please do not apply without one. Two years of driving experience is preferred.
Send a message through the contact form with Careers and the role name in your message, or call the number at the top of this page and ask for the office. If a role is not listed, apply anyway - the team grows year-round.
