We are looking for a reliable and motivated Dog Waste Removal Technician to join our team. You will be responsible for providing top-notch dog waste removal services on residential and commercial properties.
Description
As a Dog Waste Removal Technician, you will work independently and work a flexible schedule that best fits your needs. You will be assigned the same route every week, which will allow you to develop a relationship with the clients (and their pups!) and understand their needs.
Currently we have customers based in both North and South Lakeland with 1x/ week service, and one customer on the North side with 2x/ week service.
Depending on your availability and ideal number of hours, we can be flexible to accommodate your schedule.
Responsibilities and Duties:
- Remove dog waste on various residential and commercial properties.
- Follow predetermined GPS routes and drive safely.
- Manage your schedule.
- Develop and maintain positive relationships with clients & dogs.
- Maintain cleanliness and safety during the job.
- While many dogs are inside during our visits, some might come out to say hi - so a love for man's best friend is a plus!
Qualifications and Skills:
- Must have a valid driver's license, proof of active car insurance, and a reliable vehicle. (No exceptions)
- Must be comfortable working independently and outside in varying Florida weather conditions. (Heat and possible rain)
- Must be honest, responsible, fast, reliable, friendly, clean, and hardworking.
- Must be able to lift up to 50 pounds. We use a backpack sanitizing sprayer in some yards and must be able to physically perform these cleans.
- Must be able to pass a background check.
- Prior experience is not required, but you must have a willingness to learn. Poop-scooping isn't technically hard, but we ask that you follow our procedures and take pride in your work.
Perk of the job:
- Work outdoors in nature
- Pop in an earbud to listen to your favorite music or podcast
- Home before dark
- Occasional play session with adorable pups!
- Autonomy: This is truly a self-sufficient role. If you love listening to music or podcasts you'd definitely be able to do so while working.
- Flexibility: As we are still early in establishing routes, we have a lot of flexibility to accomplish the services to adapt to your schedule.
- Growing rapidly: We're working to really grow out our routes to optimize for closer clients, which means less drive time, and more dollars-per-hour with tips.
- Occasional dog pets!
Compensation:
Base: $16/ hr + Each client is sent an automatic text following their appointment with the option to leave a tip, and those proceeds are 100% yours to keep.
Fuel mileage will be monitored via our routing app and reimbursed each pay period based on Florida standard mileage rates.
Additionally, we also offer a flexible schedule and a positive work environment where personal and professional growth is encouraged. Soon, we will be looking to promote a Lead Tech and Area Manager and always believe in hiring-from-within when possible.
