What does Remote location mean?
We are hiring in many locations, and our technicians have a 150+ mile radius. All our jobs are dispatched internally through service software and scheduled for our technicians on the days they are available. Technicians keep their gear at home and work on-site with our customers. We also have travel opportunities available for Bird Removal Technicians to hop on a plane and travel across the country or to Puerto Rico!
What is your Service Area?
We currently service all fifty United States, and its territories.
How much work is available?
Our workload fluctuates by location and with seasonality. For more information on your area, please call (855) 362-2200.
How does training work?
Training starts the moment you are hired using our copyrighted training materials. In-person training takes place on the job with one of our trainers. As a trainee, you are taught the basics of how to identify and capture birds. Additional training includes our service software, company communication, store interactions, how to perform our full facility inspection, and nest removal. Once you have completed our basic training, you will be eligible to transition to a Bird Removal Technician Level 1. From here, the learning never stops. As our Director of Operations likes to say, we are “always training,” working to get better.
How are the birds captured?
We have patented capture gear and a proven process. As a technician, you will learn how to use our gear, and the capture process to successfully complete all of your work orders.
What hours during the day is the work typically performed? Does this take place during business hours or overnight?
We are headquartered in Christiansburg, Virginia and our hours are Mon – Fri: 8:30 – 5:00. Most of our work is performed during the regular business day. Some jobs require us to be on-site early in the morning or later in the evening depending on their specific bird issue.
What about weekends?
Yes, weekend work is available, although not mandatory. We require our techs to be available a minimum of three days a week. They choose the days.
How long does a typical job take?
There are no guarantees when working with wildlife. The jobs themselves vary depending on the size of the facility, number of services for that location, and number of birds. For more information call us at (855) 362-2200.
I’ve never done anything like this before? How difficult is it to learn?
You are in good hands. Most technicians working with us have never captured birds or worked with wildlife before. Our training department continually assesses your needs as you progress. Meridian’s trainers work with you to help you understand various challenges you may encounter and an effective approach to solving them. We strive to give you an individualized training experience.
Do I need a truck?
A reliable vehicle is all that’s needed. We supply all of your gear needed for the job, and this will fit in any average sedan-sized vehicle.
