Weed Wranglers is a well-established and growing business specializing in the control of noxious and nuisance weeds on public, commercial, and private properties along Colorado's Front Range. As a Weed Control Technician you will spend your days on native open spaces, green belts, parks, private rangelands and other areas where invasive weeds are inhibiting natural wildlife habitat, interfering with native ecosystems, and lowering property values.

Weed Wranglers is hiring a full-time weed spraying technician. We are seeking an outside field applicator to carefully apply herbicides to rangelands, industrial sites, native open spaces, and private properties using equipment such as off-road ATV's, UTV's, pickup trucks, hose reels, and backpack sprayers.

This position is ideal for someone that is passionate about natural resources and ecological restoration, or those that have experience operating outdoor power equipment.
