No global call centre. No fleet of 30 utes. No being a number.

Lighthouse Pest Control is a local, family-run pest and termite business that has looked after the Byron Bay and Northern Rivers community since 1986. We’re looking for our first full-time Pest Control Technician to join us as we grow.

Straight up, day to day it’s Mitch on the tools with a bit of admin help behind the scenes. You’ll work directly beside the owner, learn the termite side from 40 years of family know-how, and have the chance to grow into a senior role as we build the team.

This is a fully licensed role, not a trainee position. Once the licences are covered, character matters more to us than how many years you’ve been on the tools.

What’s on offer
$45 per hour to start, with room to grow
Fully maintained company ute, with fuel and servicing sorted
Performance-based incentives on top of your hourly rate
$1,000 performance bonus at the 12-month mark if you’re smashing it
Full-time, permanent work across Byron Bay, Ballina and the Northern Rivers
Real prospect to grow with a family business from the ground floor
Local work and a lifestyle that leaves room for the beach, family and life outside work

What you’ll be doing
Residential and commercial pest control




Termite inspections and termite management work
Pre-construction and post-construction termite protection
Clear, respectful communication with customers
Thorough work that is protected, tidy and done properly the first time
Looking after the ute, equipment and the Lighthouse name

What you must have
Current NSW Pest Management Technician Licence
Current Timber Pest Management Technician Licence
Current driver’s licence
Physical fitness and confidence working outdoors, under houses and in roof spaces

You’ll also need a Construction Induction White Card for site work. If you don’t already have one, we can help you sort it.

Who we’re looking for

Someone honest, reliable, easygoing and genuinely good to have in people’s homes. You turn up when you say you will, take pride in doing quality work, keep your gear tidy and give customers straight advice without scare tactics or unnecessary upselling.

If you’re a proper licensed technician who is tired of being just another number in a big outfit, this could be a positive fit.

To apply, send through your resume and include a few lines about why the role appeals to you.

Pay: From $45.00 per hour

Work Location: In person
