Overview

If You’re the Best at Sales, You Have a Place with the Best in Pests 

 

When you’re a Crane Service Manager, you’re quality control ensuring top-notch service from the industry leader with almost 95 years as the best in pests.

 

Our Service Manager is a “pro” at protecting homes and businesses and knows how to train and develop our Crane Pros to do the same.

Your commitment to exceeding customer expectations inspires your team to deliver unparalleled service. Customer satisfaction translates into revenue growth—and you can earn your way to an annual rewards trip honoring top performers.

 

You’ll have more than a job—you’ll have a career with growth potential and benefits that go beyond the basics. This includes a company vehicle, competitive pay and a 401(k) program. Not to mention, you’ll receive opportunities to volunteer and give back so that everyone has a safe place to live, work, and play. Work alongside a team that values safety, professionalism, empathy, integrity and innovation in pursuit of our mission to deliver the peace of mind only a Crane Pro can provide.

Plus, if there’s one thing we know at Crane, it’s that pests keep coming back, and that makes our industry recession resistant.
