Introduction
Are you the kind of person who feels a quiet satisfaction after solving a problem others might shy away from? As a Pest Control Technician in Bateen, Abu Dhabi, you’ll be the unsung hero keeping homes and businesses safe, healthy, and comfortable. This isn’t your typical maintenance job—it’s a hands-on role where every day brings a fresh challenge and a chance to make a visible difference in people’s lives.

Our team is close-knit—there’s always someone ready to lend a hand or share a quick joke between calls. We take pride in our reputation for thoroughness and integrity, but we’re not stuck in our ways. Whether it’s testing new eco-friendly solutions or swapping stories after a long day, we believe the best results come from people who genuinely care about their work and each other.

- Collaborating with fellow technicians and reporting issues or ideas to supervisors
What You’ll Bring
- Experience in pest control or a related maintenance/field service role preferred, but a willingness to learn goes a long way
- Knowledge of safe handling and application of pest control chemicals (training/certification is a plus)
- An observant nature and problem-solving mindset—sometimes you’ll be a detective as much as a technician
- Physical ability to work on your feet, sometimes in tight spaces or outdoors
