Pest Control Field Operators

High Country Contracting is a Rural Pest Control company based in South Canterbury and Otago. We specialise in the control and surveying of several pests, from possums, wallabies, rabbits and pigs, right through to wilding pine trees and plant pests in the beautiful Canterbury and Otago High Country.

Due to exciting new opportunities in the industry, we are now looking for a handful of dedicated people to fill the Field Operator positions in our Dunedin based animal pest teams.

We are looking for people with a real passion for the outdoors and the environment....the relevant skills and necessary qualifications can be learnt along the way!

Don't restrict yourself by working for a corporation, we offer you the opportunity to bring your own flair and passion by working for a privately owned company with a strong work ethic and great team culture.

Our applicants will ideally have;

Previous experience in either pest control or biosecurity work
A firm commitment to maintaining health and safety standards
A deep-rooted passion for the outdoors.
A good level of fitness.
Excellent communication skills.
The ability to stay away, when the role requires.
A real team player attitude.

Other attributes that we may take into account;

A relevant qualification in pest management.
Training qualifications in ATV, LUV and 4WD use.
A Growsafe certification or controlled substance licence.
NZQA units in chainsaw use or a qualification in plant pest management/forestry sector

We are NOT looking for midlife crisis career changes or those that like the thought of a 'cruisy outdoor job'. This role can be physically demanding and is not for the faint-hearted. In saying that, this position is also an opportunity to learn and refine a vast range of practical outdoor skills alongside an awesome and experienced team.
Please note: You will be required to undergo a mandatory drug and alcohol test.

If you are interested in a position with High Country Contracting or have any questions about the role, please send your C.V through TradeMe or contact Gerrit - Regional Manager at **********

Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work visa.
