People who enjoy building, fixing, problem-solving, and working with their hands.

Every home is different, so this isn’t repetitive assembly-line work. You’ll need to look at a structure, figure out how wildlife is getting in, and determine the best way to repair and protect it — while maintaining the appearance of the home.

We love wildlife, but if you’re applying because you mainly want to work directly with animals, this probably isn’t the job you’re looking for.

If you take pride in quality workmanship, enjoy working outdoors, and want to learn a specialized trade that protects both homes and wildlife, we’d love to meet you.
