About Us:
We are an environmentally-friendly sterile insect release program for one of the biggest pests of apple and pear trees-the codling moth.

You are a reliable,
hard-working individual with high standards and reliably transport yourself to the worksite. You can adhere to specific policies and procedures. You have a keen eye for detail and are non-entomophobic (not afraid of moths). You are comfortable meeting the physical requirements of the position which include standing for extended periods of time, completing repetitive tasks and duties that involve pulling, pushing, crouching, bending, lifting and stacking.
Basic Duties (on site training is provided):
