• Heat treatment and mouse proofing experience
• Self-employed contractor status
• Min. of 40 hours availability required per week

About us

We’ve been one of London’s largest property maintenance companies for more than 15-years. We have ambitious growth plans, and contracting the best tradespeople is key to our future success.

We book thousands of jobs for residential property owners every month. We also work with several well-known commercial clients, mainly in the hospitality sector.

We specialise in reactive, hourly rate work and follow-up, remedial work. We do this 24/7, 365 days a year.

The role

Our team provide a full range of pest control services to residential and commercial property owners. We aim to complete all aspects of a job from investigation to proofing, in a humane and environmentally conscious way. As an Aspect engineer, you’ll source your own parts and materials, carry out pest removal and pest proofing, and quote for any further reinstatement work required.

An effective pest proofing solution often requires further works from multiple tradespeople. Our pest control engineers will advise how to stop pest problems from recurring and utilise Aspect engineers from different trades to ensure all pest related damage is repaired and pest proofing is long-lasting. Typical issues may include damage to live wires, drain pipes, plumbing and heating pipes, and roofing.

You’ll be provided with confirmed bookings that relate to your specific expertise, on a constant basis. You’ll earn for your time on-site, plus time for parts/materials collection. Typical bookings include:

• Rodent removal, treatment, and proofing
• Avian removal, treatment, and proofing
• Pest proofing advice and consultation

Clear communication with customers is essential. You’ll be expected to provide reassurance by explaining the work you’ll do for them and sharing your knowledge. You’ll also be confident quoting for remedial work. Our bespoke software enables tradespeople to take responsibility for managing their own work rather than always relying on office-based support.

You’ll be supported by office-based operational and technical field-based managers. They’ll provide advice and assistance and can arrange additional resource on jobs that escalate in size and complexity.

We try to provide engineers with bookings in the same geographic area. However, you’ll be prepared to travel anywhere in and around the M25 but, due to our company expansion we will keep you as close to home as possible. You’ll be required to be on call for cyclical evening and weekend coverage.

About you

You’ll have at least 5 years of experience in pest control, with 1 year of both heat treatment and mouse proofing experience. Good technical knowledge of a wide range of relevant parts and materials is also required. You will hold a RSPH Level 2 Certificate in Pest Management and you’ll have experience of working in both domestic and commercial properties.

You will be confident at using your knowledge and experience to recommend best practice remedial work. You’ll have excellent communication skills and experience in providing detailed scope of works and fixed price quotes. You’re prepared to go the extra mile to help a customer. You take pride in always delivering high quality work and excellent customer service.

You’ll have your own hand tools; we’ll supply specialist equipment. You’ll also have a valid UK driving licence and you’ll be available to work for at least 40-hours per week.
