Full time Wildlife Technician Apprentice

About the role

TLC Wildlife Management is Central Ohio’s only exclusively non-lethal wildlife management company, specializing in humane, long-term solutions for unwanted wildlife in homes and businesses. We protect both our clients’ properties and the animals we encounter — safely, responsibly, and with integrity.

What You’ll Do

• Perform humane wildlife eviction and exclusion at residential and commercial properties.
• Inspect structures from the ground to the roof for entry points, nesting material, and wildlife activity.
• Use hand tools and light carpentry skills to install high-quality exclusion materials.
• Dig and install underground barriers to prevent re-entry under decks, sheds, and porches.
• Safely operate ladders, power tools, and basic equipment.
• Educate clients on wildlife behavior, prevention strategies, and our non-lethal approach.
• Maintain accurate job records, photos, and client communications.

What We’re Looking For

• Reliable, hardworking, and physically capable (able to lift 70 lbs and work on ladders).
• Comfortable working outdoors year-round, in attics, crawlspaces, and other tight areas.
• Strong communication and customer service skills — you’ll represent TLC on every visit.
• Problem-solver who takes initiative and can work independently or as part of a team.
• Valid driver’s license and clean driving record required.
• Ability to pass the ODNR Nuisance Operator Test (we provide training).
• Experience in wildlife work, construction, landscaping, or similar trades is a plus — but not required. We’ll train the right person.

Benefits

• Competitive pay with performance bonuses
• Paid training, license, and certification reimbursement
• Advancement opportunities in a growing company
• Paid time off
