About the role
Pest Control Technician — Greater Birmingham. Self-employed profit-share role, not a wage. You keep 30% of every job KJ Pest Control routes to you. We handle customer enquiry, contract accounts and pricing; you turn up to a priced job. You'll be sent to rodent treatments (mice, rats — domestic and light commercial contract accounts), wasp nest removal, cockroach and bed-bug treatments, insect proofing, bird-proofing surveys, and squirrel/moth work. Some jobs are one-visit clears; others are a 3-visit treatment plan. Jobs are dispatched via the KJ portal with the customer complaint, address, access, prior treatment history and any safeguarding notes. Tickets range from £75 for a wasp nest up to £400+ for a bed-bug treatment plan. Suits a qualified pest control technician with own van and product store. Not for someone without RSPH Level 2 or equivalent — safe use of rodenticides and insecticides is non-negotiable.

- Diagnose and treat rodent, insect and bird infestations to CRRU / label standard
- Apply rodenticides and insecticides safely and record use in the KJ portal

Requirements
- RSPH Level 2 in Pest Control (or BPCA equivalent)
- Own van and secure product storage
- Full UK driving licence and right to work in the UK

Do the work, get paid your share
Complete the job, mark it done in the portal. KJ invoices the customer. Your share lands on the regular payment cycle — no chasing, no unpaid quotes.

Why KJ, not a company job
A plumber does 3–4 jobs a day; a surveyor 2–4; a solicitor a handful of matters. The client pays hundreds — often thousands. You take home a fraction. The company keeps the rest.
