Job Description
TLC Wildlife Management is Central Ohio’s only exclusively non-lethal wildlife management company. We specialize in permanent wildlife exclusion — meaning we seal, repair, reinforce, and prevent animals from entering homes and structures.
This is not animal care or rehabilitation.
This is a physical, hands-on construction and labor position.
About the Role:
We are hiring for a full time summer labor position to assist with wildlife exclusion projects.
This job involves:
- Digging
- Lifting
- Climbing ladders
- Working on roofs
- Working in attics and crawlspaces
- Installing heavy-gauge metal barriers
- Using hand tools and power tools
If you are looking for a desk job, animal handling, or light-duty work — this will not be a fit.
If you enjoy physical work, being outdoors, and building things that last — keep reading.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing:
- Installing 16-gauge welded wire underground around decks and sheds
- Carrying materials and tools to job sites
- Climbing ladders and working on roofs
- Working in hot attics and tight crawl spaces
- Digging trenches and installing permanent barriers
- Assisting with metal fabrication and structural repairs
- Supporting senior technicians on larger projects
Most days feel more like construction or landscaping than wildlife work.
Physical Requirements (Important)
- Lift and carry 70+ lbs repeatedly
- Work outdoors in summer heat
- Comfortable with heights and ladders
- Ability to safely move and set up a 32 ft extension ladder
- Comfortable in tight, dusty spaces
- Able to work a full shift of physical labor
