Rock Climbers, Roofing Assistants, and Skilled Hands-On Workers Encouraged to Apply
Join an award‑winning wildlife control and repair company with a reputation for integrity, professionalism, and respect. Through our two brands—ABC Wildlife and Landmark Pest Management—we protect homes, repair structural damage, and keep wildlife where it belongs: outdoors.
If you’re handy, physically fit, and comfortable at heights, this could be the long‑term career you’ve been looking for.
Why Build Your Career With Us?
Since 1976, we’ve grown into a team of more than 100 full‑time professionals who enjoy stability, excellent benefits, and meaningful work. Our team has been featured on National Geographic and the Discovery Channel, and we’re proud of the adventurous, nature‑focused work we do every day.
We invest heavily in training, development, and long‑term growth. When you join us, you’re not taking a seasonal job—you’re starting a career.
Salary & Benefits
$24/hour plus time‑and‑a‑half overtime for hours over 40
Guaranteed 40 hours/week on average
Paid vacation
401(k)
Excellent medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
High‑quality uniforms from brands like Columbia and The North Face
What You’ll Do
Roof Safety Anchor Installers help our teams work safely at heights by installing rooftop safety anchors and assisting with structural repairs that keep wildlife out of homes.
You’ll report to our Schaumburg office each morning, drive a company vehicle, use company equipment, and receive dispatch assignments throughout the day—similar to the structure of a first‑responder role.
Who Thrives in This Role
This position is ideal for someone who is:
Comfortable on ladders and roofs
Skilled with hand tools
Physically fit and able to load/unload ladders multiple times per day
Safety‑minded with a clean driving record
Handy, intelligent, and eager to learn
Rock climbers often excel in this role due to their comfort with heights and safety awareness. If you’re a climber without construction experience, we still encourage you to apply—we provide extensive training.
No wildlife experience is required.
Schedule & Hours
We operate 7 days a week, but you will work 5 days per week
Rotating days off; some weekends required
Standard hours: 6:30 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Longer days during busy seasons (spring–fall)
Summer hours may reach 50+ hours/week; winter averages closer to 40
Training & Development
40+ hours of paid, hands‑on training during your first 4–5 weeks
Apprenticeship‑style learning with experienced team members
Long‑term career path with low turnover and strong team support
Requirements
Valid Illinois driver’s license with a clean driving record
Ability to pass our insurance carrier’s DMV check
Ability to pass the Chicago Public Schools background check (criteria available at the link you provided)
