About The Position

Olson's Pest Technicians is seeking a motivated, coachable, and socially intelligent Pest Management Professional (PMP). No prior experience is required; comprehensive training is provided. The role combines pest-management service and sales, with independent work on a service route and support from a collaborative team. The work involves treating and inspecting clients' premises, preventing pest issues, building customer relationships, and promoting services. New PMPs must complete a structured training program, typically over their first five weeks of employment. Training includes field training in the assigned service area and classroom and hands-on training at the company's headquarters in Yankton, South Dakota. Weeks 1–2 are generally at headquarters Monday through Thursday, with self-study and online training from home on Fridays; weeks 3–4 are in the assigned service area; and week 5 includes additional headquarters training. Candidates living more than 45 miles from Yankton should expect overnight stays for headquarters training, and those living more than 100 miles away are required to use company-provided lodging during those training weeks. The company provides hotel accommodations and meals for approved overnight training. Candidates who commute instead are responsible for their commuting time, mileage, and personal vehicle use. Successful completion of training is a condition of employment. The position is full-time and based on the road. The posting lists first-year annual compensation in the $48,000–$54,000 range, with potential earnings in the $70,000s or higher through production and sales bonuses and continuing education. The application process typically includes an Indeed application with screening questions, a Spark Hire video screening, the company's official employment application, an interview (in person preferred), and a contingent offer subject to a background check and drug screen.
