Supervisor – Pest Control
Plunkett's Pest Control

Looking for a people-first career that's technical, rewarding, and different every day? Do you love coaching a team, helping others succeed in their own territories, and building relationships with both residential and commercial customers? If leading by example is your style, this role is for you.

You'll lead and support a team of Service Technicians across Southwest Missouri, Northeast Oklahoma, and Northwest Arkansas. No two days look the same: some days you'll work from home handling planning, reporting, and team communication, and other days you'll be out in the field, traveling to your technicians to coach, train, and support them where the work happens. We're ideally looking for someone based in or near the territory, such as Springfield, MO, Kansas, OK, or Mountain Home, AR.

You're provided a company vehicle, competitive pay, and a strong benefits package including vacation, sick time, medical insurance, and a 401(k) retirement plan.

Base + Bonus: estimated $55,000 to $60,000 per year
