Schedule: Monday–Friday (Occasional Saturdays)
Pay: $20-$22 per hour based on experience + Full Benefits + Weekly Paychecks
Job Summary
Village Green Lawn & Pest has served North Texas homeowners since 1980. We’re a family-owned company based in Plano — and we’re growing. This is a full-time field technician role servicing residential lawn care, pest control, and mosquito treatment routes across Garland, Mesquite, Forney, Plano, Richardson, and East Dallas. This is year-round outdoor work in North Texas — hot summers, cold winter mornings, and physically active days. We’re direct about that upfront because the right candidate will see it as a feature, not a drawback. We welcome both entry-level applicants (we’ll train the right person) and experienced technicians from lawn care, pest control, landscaping, or similar outdoor field roles. What we offer: $20-$22/hr, weekly paychecks, health insurance, paid holidays and vacation, 401(k) with company match, company truck, uniforms, and equipment — plus structured onboarding and a clear path to grow with a company that’s been here for 46 years. Pay rate is determined by experience. A resume is required to be considered.
First — The Reality of the Role
This is 100% outdoor work, year-round in North Texas.
That means:
- Hot summers
- Cold winter mornings
- Physically active days
If your background is strictly office-based, this role likely isn’t the right fit. We believe in being direct so we don’t waste your time or ours.
Two Ways to Qualify
Entry Level — No Industry Experience Required – Pay rate is $20 per hour
We’re happy to train the right person.
You bring:
- Strong work ethic and reliability
- Willingness to learn and accept coaching
- Comfort working outdoors year-round
Training includes structured onboarding, ride-alongs, and licensing support.
Experienced Technicians – Lawn / Pest / Mosquito / Outdoor Field Roles – Pay rate is $22 per hour
Candidates with relevant field experience will ramp up faster.
Helpful experience includes:
- Lawn care
- Pest control
- Mosquito control
- Landscaping
- Outdoor service routes
- Other physically active field roles
What You’ll Do
- Service residential properties on a daily route
- Apply lawn care, mosquito, and pest control treatments
- Inspect properties and recommend solutions
- Communicate professionally with homeowners
- Maintain accurate service records
- Keep your truck and equipment clean and organized
- Follow safety procedures for equipment and materials
Requirements
- Valid driver’s license with a clean driving record (MVR required)
- Age 25+ (insurance requirement)
- Ability to lift up to 50 lbs and perform physical work
- Reliable, professional, and self-motivated
- Strong communication skills (English required; Spanish is a plus)
- Live within driving distance of Plano, Richardson, Garland, Frisco, or McKinney
Important Application Requirement – A resume is required.
Applications submitted without a resume are considered incomplete. We will follow up once to request it. If we do not receive a response within approximately 24 hours, we will move forward with other candidates.
If your resume does not show outdoor work experience, please include a brief note explaining:
- Why you’re interested in an outdoor career
- Why you believe you will succeed in a physically demanding role
