Trainee Fumigation Technician

As a Trainee Fumigation Technician, you'll be working on specialist operations to treat and protect commodities from insect infestation. That means getting hands on in real environments, solving real problems, and learning a highly technical skillset that very few people have.

You'll be part of a team that travels across East Anglia and the UK, carrying out fumigation work in a wide range of settings. Some days you'll be local, other days you'll be travelling further afield or staying away overnight.

The work is physical, varied, and highly regulated. It requires attention to detail, responsibility, and a strong safety mindset.

If you're looking for something different, practical, and genuinely interesting, this is it.

What you'll be doing

• Assisting with fumigation treatments on a range of commodities
• Learning how to identify insect activity and understand infestation risks
• Supporting site set up, preparation, and safety procedures
• Handling equipment and materials in line with strict compliance standards
• Travelling to sites across the region and occasionally further afield
• Working closely with experienced technicians to build your knowledge
• Communicating with customers professionally on site
• Following detailed processes to ensure safe and effective treatments

What we're looking for

You don't need previous experience, but you do need the right attitude.

• A genuine interest in agriculture, insect biology, or pest control
• Someone who is practical and enjoys hands on work
• Willingness to learn and develop technical knowledge
• Strong work ethic, not someone who just wants to clock in and out
• Comfortable working in a physically demanding role
• Good attention to detail and ability to follow procedures
• A team player who can also take responsibility
• Confident speaking to customers and representing the company

What the role involves

• Regular travel across East Anglia and throughout the UK
• Occasional overnight stays
• Overtime and some out of hours work, especially during busy periods
• Seasonal peaks where workloads increase
• Working in a safety critical and highly compliant environment

Training and development

We invest heavily in our people.

• Full training provided from day one
• Clear pathway to industry recognised qualifications
• Ongoing development with experienced and technically skilled colleagues
• Opportunity to build a specialist career in fumigation

Why join us

• We are an industry leader in fumigation
• You'll be part of a highly skilled, knowledgeable team
• The work is varied, technical, and genuinely interesting
• Strong company culture built around growth, support, and doing things properly
• Real long term career opportunities in a specialist field

Who this is perfect for

• School or college leavers looking for a hands on career
• People interested in agriculture, science, or environmental work
• Anyone who wants to learn a specialist skill rather than do a routine job
