This Fumigation Specialist position is a field-based role centered in Woodland, CA, that offers an exciting opportunity to join Ecolab's Specialty Pest Services team. The role involves delivering high-quality fumigation services that align with the company’s mission of safeguarding resources and environmental health. Employees benefit from a comprehensive benefits package from day one, featuring health insurance, 401(k) plans with company match, pensions, paid parental leave, discounted childcare resources, education assistance, and more. This support system enables team members to grow their careers and positively impact communities while working in a physically active and collaborative environment.

In this role, you will receive paid training and support to acquire necessary licenses, expanding your expertise in fumigation management. Working as part of a team of experts, you will use cutting-edge resources, tools, and technology to execute fumigation tasks safely and effectively. Responsibilities include sealing, tarping, fumigant introduction, monitoring fume readings, aerating facilities, and performing safety inspections. You will operate handheld computerized devices to manage service documentation, monitor gas levels, and ensure compliance with safety standards, including OSHA regulations.

This position requires effective communication skills to interact with customers and team members, strict adherence to safety protocols, and the ability to wear and utilize personal protective equipment (PPE). You'll learn to interpret chemical labels and Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and use equipment necessary for fumigation services, including electronic recording and reporting tools.
