Full time Seasonal Wildlife Technician Apprentice

TLC Wildlife Management is Central Ohio’s only exclusively non-lethal wildlife management company. We specialize in permanent wildlife exclusion — meaning we seal, repair, reinforce, and prevent animals from entering homes and structures.

This is not animal care or rehabilitation.
This is a physical, hands-on construction and labor position.

About the Role:

We are hiring for a full time summer labor position to assist with wildlife exclusion projects. 

This job involves:

• Digging
• Lifting
• Climbing ladders
• Working on roofs
• Working in attics and crawlspaces
• Installing heavy-gauge metal barriers
• Using hand tools and power tools

If you are looking for a desk job, animal handling, or light-duty work — this will not be a fit.

If you enjoy physical work, being outdoors, and building things that last — keep reading.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

• Installing 16-gauge welded wire underground around decks and sheds
• Carrying materials and tools to job sites
• Climbing ladders and working on roofs
• Working in hot attics and tight crawl spaces
• Digging trenches and installing permanent barriers
• Assisting with metal fabrication and structural repairs
• Supporting senior technicians on larger projects

Most days feel more like construction or landscaping than wildlife work.

Physical Requirements (Important)

• Lift and carry 70+ lbs repeatedly
• Work outdoors in summer heat
• Comfortable with heights and ladders
• Ability to safely move and set up a 32 ft extension ladder
• Comfortable in tight, dusty spaces
• Able to work a full shift of physical labor

Who Typically Does Well Here

People with backgrounds in:

• Construction
• Landscaping
• Roofing
• Farming
• Athletics
• Military
• Trade work

No wildlife experience is required. Strong work ethic is.
