Join Precision Pest Management Solutions Ltd as a Graduate Field Biologist – Pest Control Trainee!

At Precision Pest Management Solutions, we pride ourselves on offering bespoke pest management solutions and consultancy services, primarily to the food industry. We are committed to working in an environmentally responsible way, using intelligence over pesticides whenever possible. As our business continues to grow, we are looking for motivated graduates to join our dedicated team.

We’re a close-knit team, small enough to care but large enough to offer the professional support and back-up you need. No two days are the same here. You'll be inspecting diverse industrial environments, advising clients, and keeping businesses pest-free—this is not a lab-based role.

• Opportunities to work closely with a wide range of clients, helping them maintain pest-free environments while promoting environmental responsibility
• Progress through the ranks and be rewarded with salary increments at each certification level. The salary for a fully certified Field Biologist currently stands at £31,000
• Have the opportunity to expand our services and earn additional commission for your efforts
• We offer statutory holidays plus 20 annual leave days, increasing to 25 with tenure

Are you the right person for the job?

• Degree in Biological Sciences, Biology, Zoology, Environmental Science, Environmental Health, or a related field
• Strong observational skills and a desire to stay active throughout the workday
• UK manual driving licence is essential
• Comfortable with heights and confined spaces
• Ability to think quickly and communicate effectively with everyone, from cleaners to Managing Directors
• Computer literate, with proficiency in MS Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
• Must be based in, or willing to relocate to, the Carlisle/Dumfries area

What will your role look like?

• Conduct technical inspections for rodent and insect issues across industrial environments
• Complete detailed assessments and reports using our custom software
• Maintain high observational skills and an active presence in the field
• Undergo continuous training to achieve industry-recognized qualifications
• Build client relationships, offering expert advice on environmental improvements
