- Installing bird-proofing systems (netting, spikes, wire, post and wire, and more) across a variety of commercial and residential sites
- Carrying out bird dropping clean-ups and associated hygiene work
- Working safely at height using access equipment, including MEWPs, ladders, and potentially rope access
- Collaborating with a small, experienced team to deliver quality results on every job
- Representing the business professionally with clients across London and the Southeast

- Experience in pest control proofing
- Reliable, punctual, and takes pride in doing a job properly
- Happy working outdoors in all weathers across a variety of site types
