Job Description

Nature’s Care Orlando, LLC is seeking a Certified Pest Control Operator (CPO) to lead and oversee our pest control division. This role requires a fully licensed operator who can legally operate under their own license—not an applicator working under another individual’s certification.


This is a leadership-level position responsible for compliance, treatment oversight, program development, and ensuring high-quality service delivery across residential and commercial properties, including high-end communities and resorts.


Key Responsibilities

  • Operate as the licensed Certified Pest Control Operator for the company

  • Diagnose pest, disease, and turf issues and implement proper treatment plans
  • Oversee and train pest control technicians and applicators
  • Manage pesticide usage, storage, and application records
  • Develop and oversee fertilization and pest control programs tailored to property needs
  • Conduct property inspections and provide detailed reporting
  • Interface with clients, property managers, and internal teams to ensure service quality
  • Maintain proper documentation for audits, inspections, and regulatory compliance
  • Assist in building and scaling the pest control division


Requirements

  • Active Certified Pest Control Operator (CPO) License in Florida (REQUIRED)
    • Must hold your own operator license (not working under another license holder)
  • Strong knowledge of:
    • Turf and ornamental pest control
    • Fertilization programs
    • Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
  • Experience with Florida-specific pests (chinch bugs, whiteflies, scale, etc.)
  • Ability to diagnose plant health issues including disease, nutrient deficiencies, and insect damage
  • Leadership experience managing field technicians preferred
  • Strong organizational and documentation skills
  • Valid Florida driver’s license


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience in high-end residential or HOA/commercial properties
  • Knowledge of irrigation systems and plant health care programs
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) is a plus


Compensation & Benefits

  • Competitive salary based on experience
  • Company vehicle (if applicable)
  • Partial company-paid health insurance (with upgrade options)
  • Optional dental and vision plans
  • Company-paid life insurance
  • Paid holidays
  • Vacation after one year of employment (see employee handbook for details)


Why Join Nature’s Care Orlando

  • Rapidly growing company with strong leadership and structure
  • Opportunity to lead and build a pest control division
  • Work on premium properties and high-visibility accounts
  • Supportive team environment with clear processes and expectations
