Want to be part of the team that provides front line protection? Join our applicators in applying chemical applications following KSBA guidelines, County policies and chemical label requirements. Starting pay is $17.00 per hour with a $1.00 increase when weed control certified. All County positions require a minimum of a High School diploma or GED with the ability to pass a drug screen and pre-employment physical assessment.
