PEST CONTROL TECHNICIAN | £26K – £36K | KENT | FULL TIME | PERMANENT
At AGS we work in challenging and complex environments ranging from industrial complexes and power stations to rail infrastructure and transport networks. You will be delivering Pest Control Services to these interesting clients in addition to more traditional customers in the retail and food sectors.
At AGS our ethos is Happy Staff, Happy Clients, Happy Days. We’re not interested in KPIs, targets and mindless spreadsheets. Delivering good service is at the core of what we do, and we’ll support you to that end. That means we want problem solvers and people focused on delivering results and the best customer service possible.
We’re committed to training you to become an expert in your field. This will mean BPCA/RSPH accreditations, marksmanship training and other specialist courses. You will also receive the training required to meet the rigorous Health and Safety demands of our company and client base (e.g. Rail Infrastructure).

If you excel with your training and newly acquired skills this will open opportunities for you to move into other roles in our fast-growing business.
